Jahn Robotics Team

Fall 2024 FIRST Lego League Season

Learn how to build and code a robot and explore the engineering design process. FIRST Lego League is an international program in which students build a robot to solve missions, develop a solution to a problem involving ocean exploration. We compete against teams across the city and state. The Robotics team is available to students in 4th to 8th grade.

Practices are Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00 to 4:30pm. We meet in Room 308 (with overflow in Room 307). We will also meet for a scrimmage in November, a tournament on a weekend in December (exact timing of tournament TBD by end of October).

Students who are interested can apply (signed in with your CPS account) below. Apply only if you can reliably commit to the practice schedule.

The robotics club is a large collaboration among teachers and parent volunteers. Thank you to Ms. Lynch and Mr. Knaus for the use of their classrooms, as well as Ms. D for help with technology. We also rely on many volunteers, some of whom are parents, grandparents, and neighbors in the community. Volunteer coaches include Luke Shepard, Mollie Rapp, Michael Kilkelly, Johnny Vivoda, Jeff Shepard, and Colleen Lavin.

We are always looking for eager and interested volunteers! You are welcome to come to observe. Email Luke with any questions or if you'd like to get involved.
