DESCRIPTION:Get engineering with VEX Robotics! Working in teams\, kids age
 s 8-13 plan\, record\, and solve practical problems using robots. **Please

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Robotics uses VEX IQ Generation 2 robot ki
 ts to learn the basics of robot design and problem solving. Participants w
 ill be divided into teams and work together to build and modify a VEX IQ r
 obot to complete a given challenge (using various VEX IQ challenge sets). 
 Participants will be expected to keep &ldquo\;engineering&rdquo\; notebook
 s detailing progress they make in both design choices and construction of 
 their robot with each member of the team taking turns acting as the &ldquo
 \;recorder&rdquo\; for the notebook. The focus of the program is in learni
 ng and understanding the engineering design process\, particularly iterati
 ve design\, through hands-on problem solving. All participants must have b
 asic reading and writing skills (2<sup>nd</sup>/3<sup>rd</sup> grade level
 ) as well as basic math skills (addition/subtraction).</p>\n<p>It is impor
 tant that participants plan to remain in the course for the <strong><em>en
 tire period</em></strong> from August through April (with no classes durin
 g December). The projected schedule includes: learning about the challenge
  and designing options through September (6-7 weeks)\; building/re-designi
 ng the robot into March (approx. 16 weeks)\; practicing/skirmishing using 
 the R/C controller into late April (approx. 4 weeks)\; last session is a &
 ldquo\;showcase&rdquo\; with the robots open to parents to attend.</p>\n<p
