Any Mario Kart fans out there?
Then be sure to come out to Hendersonville Middle on Tuesday, May 7, for a Project Lead The Way (PLTW) middle school robotics competition based on the classic video game! Using VEX Robotics materials, students will build a remote-controlled car with 2 balloons attached to the bumper. The cars will have motorized attack arms that students will control to pop other cars' balloons within a controlled area. Points will be given for each balloon popped and for remaining balloons; the team with the most points after 3 rounds will be declared the winner.
PLTW is a program in our middle and high schools that offers pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science, teaching students technical skills, critical and creative thinking, problem solving, communication, and collaboration.
The melee will begin between 3:45 and 4 p.m. at Hendersonville Middle.
