What is Eaglesnest Robotics? The Eaglesnest Robotics Club is a Educational outreach organization formed students in the Huntington, WV region. In the year 2011, We have launched 2 Teams this year. A Jr. FIRST® LEGO® League Team (Ages 6-9), and a FIRST® LEGO® League Team (Ages 9-14). We plan to enter our Teams into the local Event held at Marshal University in Dec 2011 and to ultimately compete in the Annual West Virginia FIRST® LEGO® League Robotics Tournament in Wheeling, WV.
We are Exploring young Minds through Science and Technology by giving our students: • a fundamental education and experience in collegiate robotics involving
Our 2010 FLL Team– Robosapiens
•
Research-finding a problem and identifying a solution using creative thinking and teamwork
•
Team management– understand teamwork and the benefit of complimentary skills
•
Project management-Gain expertise in core project management skills and methods using robotics.
•
Robotic Design
•
An opportunity to, Experience the hard work of funding our projects through external support resources.
This Years FIRST® Challenges FIRTS® LEGO® League & JR FIRST® LEGO® League: In the 2011 FOOD FACTOR™ and SNACK ATTACK™ challenges, students ages 6-14 from over 55 countries will explore the topic of food safety and examine the possible points of contamination our food encounters – from exposure to insects and creatures, to unsterile processing and transportation, to unsanitary preparation and storage – then find ways to prevent or combat these contaminates. Teams use the LEGO® NXT robotics system.
“Exploring young minds through Science and Technology”
Why you should consider supporting our efforts. These children are our future. This is without a doubt one of the most challenging, engaging programs you will find. Your support will make a huge difference in the future of these bright, engaged and creative young minds.
