Robotics/CODING Team

 

The St. Mark Robotics/Coding Team is open to students in grades 4-8. It is an interactive,  after school club that focuses on the design, construction, and programming of LEGO Mindstorm EV3 robots. It provides a hands-on learning opportunity in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and encourages students to work as a team.  

The St. Mark Robotics program is coached by volunteer parents. Practice sessions are scheduled after school.
