Lego Team Homework Reminder

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder about the homework for this week. Those who were in the builder group or Group A should be researching what is currently available to help people quit their smoking addiction. Those in the Programming group (Group B) should be brainstorming about possible BioEngineering solutions for smoking addiction.
Group A - Ricky, Caleb, Adelaide, Kevin and Sam
Group B - Jamie, Price, Trevor, Roslyn and Ben

It wold be great if you could e-mail your work to Coach Pattie before the team meeting onSunday. That way the project group can have all the info they need to work with in one place and in a format they can use.

Thank You,
Coach Karen

Sunday 26th meeting

There was a question about which chassis was better. We did a discussion and vote on the two different chassis designs.

We talked about team roles and who wanted which positions.

The builders worked on some designs for a carrier to carry pieces around the field. The builders worked together and made one of the designs better.

The programmers watched several programming videos.

The project people made a Power Point on smoking.

We voted that we would work on a fix for addiction.

Key points on Project Presentation Approach

Now that you have narrowed down your research topic, think of clever ways to communicate the facts from your research, possible biomedical engineering solutions, any props you may need to present.  Remember to include as many team members as possible in the delivery of your presentation and keep the setup and presentation within 5 minutes.  You will also need to anticipate questions from the judges, so also prepare answers.  Coaches Dee and Patti
