Add Photos - Aborn Robotics Jr. FLL (1) summer camp report

[Aborn School]

Dear All,

 

Thank you to all the parents who came to Aborn Institute today and attended the Aborn Jr. FLL Robotics summer camp's demonstration! Today in the new Aborn multi-function auditorium, the Roboticsstudents presented the Dancing Birds model, Rotation Top model and the Giant model besides the featuring Soccer Game model and its controlling software.

 

The little engineers learned some basic mechanics and robotics this week and really showed off their newly gained knowledge at today's "Robotics Expo". The students were divided, by age, into team red, blue, and green. In the camp week, the three teams practised self introduction, technical documentation, public speech, poster prepration and hands-on model builds and system integration of the Robotic Soccer Game project. They learnt a visual sftware programming and used the program in the Robotic Soccer Game control.

In Aborn Jr. Robotics training course and projects, multiple electric engines and their power/direction control, motion sensor, pulley and belt, lever, gear systems, text/number display, dislay buffer/memory, and programming loop concept are involved as well as basic computer operation skills. Gear up/down, rotation plane converson through crown gears, rotation translation into linear movement with joint-lever-pair are involved.

 

We are looking forward to seeing the students coming back to our next Robotics training (Aug 8 - Aug 20) or next Jr. Robotics training (next summer).

 

Enjoy the attached photos.

Dear Little Robotic Engineers,

 

Aborn Jr. FLL summer camp is designed for 6~9 years old students who will use essential LEGO^® Education materials (cam wheels, axle extenders, crane hook, wheels, rack and pinion gears, bricks, plates, gear blocks, motor and battery ) to build our models. Aborn Jr. FLL summer camp will helps the team perform simple building activities useful for exploring topics such as team work and team dynamics. http://www.youtube.com/user/FLLGlobal#p/c/0/x96U_AN8tg0

For advance students, they will use the LEGO^® Education WeDo™ system which was designed specifically to bring the fun and challenge of robotics. Team members will be able to build LEGO models featuring working motors and sensors; program their models with colorful, visual software designed just for kids; and explore a series of cross-curricular, theme-based activities while developing their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as language and literacy. The electronic activity pack explores four different themes, enabling team members to become familiar with the product before constructing their Jr.FLL model. This lesson is a great transition to the skills needed for the Aborn FIRST LEGO League (agaes 9~14).

 

Can Junior FIRST LEGO League teams master the science of safely preparing food?  In the 2011 Snack Attack Challenge, over (12,000) 6 to 9 year olds from 5 countries will take a “hands on” approach to the topic of food safety by exploring how proper preparation and storage can help keep us healthy.  Teams will learn about simple machines as they build a model made of LEGO® elements with a motorized moving part, and will create a team Show-Me Poster to represent their Snack Attack findings. Team 2136.

Team Structure

• Children participating in Jr.FLL must be between the ages of 6 and 9 years old.  At age 9, students have the option of participating in Aborn Jr. FLL or in the Aborn FIRST LEGO League (FLL; for students ages 9-14) program. 

• A Jr. FLL team may have as few as two (2), and no more than six (6) students
• It’s important to keep team size at six children or fewer in order to maintain that each student has adequate time contributing to the poster, and working with the model
• If our team plans to attend a Jr. FLL Event/contest, it is important to schedule enough time before the event takes place for our team to complete a model and our poster in Fall. 

 * As we did before, Aborn Institute will continue to sponsor our students to participate all Robotic contests in Fall.
