Kawananakoa Robotics is
being offered as an after school enrichment program. Students will discover the valuable role played by robots in
our society. More importantly,
they will develop critical thinking and cooperative learning strategies as they
are presented with questions about constructing a team robot that fits specific
criteria, programming that robot while communicating tasks and accomplishments
with their teammates and others.
Prerequisites for
participation in the Kawananakoa Robotics are:
- One page typed essay (minimum 100 words) explaining how your presence and participation will be an asset to the Kawananakoa Robotics project

Kawananakoa Middle School Robotics sessions will be held
after school from 3:00 – 4:00pm in J104 every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and
Friday until the end of the first semester. Sessions during the second semester
