Clubs and Extra-Curricular Activities
This year, we are fortunate to have two different Robotics teams at Simpson. The FLL or FIRST Lego League team is a team that will be open to students in all grade levels (but priority may be given to sixth grade students) and will be based on the Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics System. In FLL, students will work as a team to research a problem, design a solution to that problem and prepare to present that solution to their peers, judges, and the world. They will also compete in a themed robot game in which they are challenged to build a robot that can complete assigned tasks autonomously.
BEST robotics is a more free-form competition that is limited to seventh and eighth graders only. In the BEST competition, the robot game IS the problem, and students build a robot to solve that problem. They will then work to create a presentation, sales brochure, and engineering notebook to sell their robot to their peers and the judges.
