Visit the LEGO City
May 6, 2005
The visit started up stairs in the City National Bank where the 102 4th graders
built a LEGO city with places to live, places to work,
and transportation from place to place.
There was a computer set up with the pages of links to the LEGO City downstairs.
Groups took turns going downstairs to the LEGO city that is live on the Internet.
On the camera link upstairs those up there could see the students downstairs.
Driving on the Red Rover link four groups at a time actually made the robotics vehicles move.
Fourth grade is just the right age to start LEGO robotics.
They would be able to have teams to build and program the FIRST LEGO League challenge next fall.
The Chesapeake Elementary PTA sponsored Field trip to Marshall University for the four 4th Grades.
Most of the students were familiar with some of Linda Hamilton's LEGO materials
from visits to Chesapeake Elementary in the past
but getting to explore the RED ROVER internet connection was great for them.
