EVSC Virtual Academy Students Work on LEGO Robots

While much of the EVSC’s Virtual Academy curriculum is online, students enrolled in the program have the unique opportunity to come together to work in teams throughout the year. Recently, student teams have been meeting each Wednesday to work on a special project for the upcoming PEF Technology Showcase scheduled for later this week at Ivy Tech Community College. On Wednesday, from 9 to 10 a.m., student teams will meet one more time to finalize their work on their own LEGO Robots, including completing the building and programming of their robots.

As part of the project, Virtual Academy purchased LEGO robot kits and extension kits through a Public Education Foundation Grant. Each week, the Academy’s “School @ Home” students have met in teams to build their robots. In addition, the school created a cross curricular project where students record their team organization, process for building and the outcomes of their work.
