Students in Mr. O’Dell’s 7th grade “Automation & Robotics” class have been working on gear trains and building an autonomous, self-driving vehicle that can access and deliver supplies to people during disasters. (We were already working on this prior to Hurricane MILTON, but this unfortunate disaster gave this activity greater real-world authenticity!) The vehicle will be responsible for getting supplies to those that are stranded, and moves by adding a motor to the gear train. Students have learned about motors, which are outputs devices used to generate motion in a system, like spinning wheels on a car. Students used the VexV5 robotics parts to build their autonomous vehicle and then the VexV5 coding site to code the “brain” of the robot.
Attention 8th grade students and families, Gear Up is sponsoring a Family Night Dinner. It will be held this Thursday at 5pm in the cafeteria at Princeton Middle School. Please plan to bring your student and family for a pepperoni roll, chips, cookie, and drink. This will be an hour of food, fellowship and fun for families of GEAR UP SWV. This is only for 8th grade students. We look forward to seeing you here!
Don't forget about the PTO multi vendor yard sale tomorrow, August 31st, in the school parking lot.
If you have items to donate, please bring them to the school today. THANK YOU!
