Brindlee Mountain Middle School Celebrates Robotics Week

Brindlee Mountain Middle School recently shared photos from their National Robotics Week celebration. Thanks to Penny Waldrop for sharing their activities for the week!



BMMS students were able to tour the Robotics Technology Park Mobile Unit. Note the Northeast Alabama BEST shirts.



BMMS supporters, including principal Mike Little got a chance to drive the BMMS robot.



What is more fitting for National Robotics Week than to be kind to your robot. BMMS got their robot, LeNerd, a cookie.

Robotics Teacher Workshop

The Sand Mountain Robotic Initiative was on the Northeast Alabama Community College campus recently teaching a workshop for teachers who are using robots in their curriculum. Wayne Cummins, who leads the initiative, taught the workshop and was assisted by Pisgah High School student, Bryan Amezquita.

The Sand Mountain Robotic Initiative has placed robots in area schools in an effort to advance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills. Their goal is to provide robots and associated training for area schools.

T Shirt Day

In honor of National Robotics Week 2014 we are asking everyone who participated in BEST Robotics in 2013 to wear their Northeast Alabama BEST Robotics Game Day shirt on Wednesday, April 9, 2104.

Be sure to let everyone in your school know that you are proud to be a part of BEST Robotics by wearing this shirt on April 9. Be sure to share your photos with us on Facebook.

Remember also that sponsors of Northeast Alabama BEST Robotics make it possible to provide these shirts to everyone free of charge. This gives us an opportunity to show that we are proudly wearing the shirts they gave us!

Teams are also encouraged to pick another day that week to wear their team's Tshirt. But please reserve April 9 for Northeast Alabama BEST Tshirts.

BEST Teams: This would be a great opportunity for you to share what you do with others in your school and/or community. Perhaps you could:

• Arrange to demonstrate a robot at your school
• Organize a fundraiser to support the 2014 competition season
• Visit the classroom of a younger class and talk to them about robots. You might share an activity book or coloring sheet. The ones linked here are available courtesy of iRobot.
• Select a day to wear your game day shirt to school
• Or ????

We encourage all teams to participate. Please post your events to the National Robotics Week website and send details to kennamerm@nacc.edu to have them posted in this site.
