🌟Let’s celebrate Mr. Roger Quinlan, a Ramsey educator for 24 years and Dater’s LEGO Robotics Club advisor.
Big impact: LEGO robotics classes encourage students to hone and apply creativity and engineering-based problem-solving skills.
Each week, students are randomly assigned to teams and assigned jobs as builders, coders, technology leaders, or recorders.
They must work together to finish their mission: to have their robot complete an obstacle course.
Students accomplish their goals using many competencies listed in the Profile of a Ramsey Graduate, including collaboration, adaptability, and self-direction. They think critically and creatively as they choose multiple design and coding ideas and reflect on their successes and possible setbacks to prepare for the following week.
What they’re saying: “The Dater School Lego Robotics Club is entering its 5th year at Dater School. We want to graciously thank the RPEF, who, through a generous grant, have donated 12 Lego Spike Prime kits. This has allowed us to expand our club this year to have 12 teams of 4 students participating, which is amazing! Thank you RPEF!” - Mr. Roger Quinlan
What’s next: The Dater LEGO Robotics Club hopes to present its builds at the Smith School STEM Night on March 20, 2025.
👏Thank you, Mr. Quinlan! We are excited to see your students’ creations!
