Hen Hud Holds First-Ever Robotics Camp

From the Hendrick Hudson schools:

During the last week of June, the Hendrick Hudson School District ran a four-day camp featuring LEGO MINDSTORMS® Robotics, all thanks to a generous grant from Entergy.

Under the guidance of instructors Mr. Molfetta, BMMS Technology teacher, and Mr. Leonardo, Frank G. Lindsey elementary teacher, rising 4 th -9 th graders created one-of- a- kind robots, modeling real-life mechanisms and using creativity, logic and problem-solving skills, all while learning key STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) concepts in the process.

On the last day, students presented their robots to parents.

“We know STEM-related activities and experiences help bridge student learning and promote applications to real-world settings,” said Superintendent Joseph Hochreiter. “Thanks to Entergy’s generous donation, we were able to offer our first ever camp for Hen Hud students to have these experiences with their friends, led by our teachers. We’re looking forward to partnering with Entergy in the future to expand these types of opportunities for our students.”
