Week 23 Update 2023
Summary
VEX V5 teams have completed all their competitions this week. VEX IQ teams have their last competitions for the season on Feb 20th (Monday Presidents Day).
After the competitions, we will continue the classes till the end of March. Since the beginning of the season teams have been concentrating on building robots and they did not get to learn much coding. For the next 5 weeks, we want to teach kids coding and for elder kids, we plan to also teach 3D modeling.
In the next couple of weeks, we will be sending out surveys to both parents and also kids to fill out and provide feedback. We hope to incorporate your suggestions for future programs.
Thursday Class Ends Early
The Thursday class at Marina Village Middle School on Feb 16th, ends at 4pm. So please plan to pick up your kids at that time.
Return Field elements
Some of the teams have taken the field elements like blue dispensers, pucks, etc home. Please return them in the class this week. As we need those to be able to successfully host the competition.
