Robotics Workshop At Gregory

The West Orange Community House and Boys & Girls Club:  Enrichment Programs

On Thursday, February 16th, We invited Minds In Motion to run a robotics workshop at Gregory School.  Herman, founder of Minds In Motion, personally facilitated the workshop with our 56 members at the Gregory After School Program.  He had never worked with so many children in one session and we all knew it was going to be very exciting.

Although his usual sessions run much more than an hour, Herman's plan was to organize the children into groups of 5-6, build a robot/car, and then at the end of the hour compete in a big race.  Oh wow, was it exciting! Each group was given motors and wheels and then proceeded to the "parts" bin to grab as many pieces as possible to build the best looking robot car. You'll have to watch the video to see who won the race!

This was Mind In Motion's first visit within the West Orange Community House BGC Programs.  We have a few more half days coming up this year and can hopefully have Minds In Motion visit our Washington, Hazel, and Pleasantdale after school programs.   See you all soon!
