Team Robotix
Team Robotix is the Herrera Robotics team for 4th and 5th grade students. Using Lego NXT robots, students apply critical thinking and problem solving to master a variety of challenges. They learn engineering through robot construction, computer programming using NXT-G, and problem solving strategies to determine solutions to the challenges. Participation with Team Robotix requires a commitment to attend all meetings and tournaments, maintenance of appropriate classroom behavior and academic expectations, and exhibition of excellent behavior and work habits during meetings. Students interested in participating must have teacher recommendation, complete an informal interview with team coaches, and sign a contract of team expectations. Students required to attend tutorials on team meeting days will not be able to participate.
