SUMMARY:Nevada Robotics METRICS at Lomie Heard Elementary School
DESCRIPTION:Nevada Robotics will provide three 2-hour workshops for Lomie Heard staff focused on the use of the VEX GO robot in a classroom setting These three workshops will take place on Wednesdays at Lomie Heard between 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. on 3/23\, 3/25\, and 4/29. \nDuring the workshops\, the educators will learn how to build and code the VEX GO. They will explore various builds and coding options. Teachers will also explore how to use VEX GO parts for engineering and design challenges. \nNevada Robotics staff members will collaborate with Lomie Heard staff to develop and write a 20-lesson scope and sequence plan for using VEX GO in the third-grade classrooms. \nThese lessons will be designed to fit appropriately into the school’s larger robotics and computer science scope and sequence for grades K-5.

SUMMARY:Nevada Robotics Community Outreach: Gardnerville Elementary School Literacy and STEM Night
DESCRIPTION:Nevada Robotics is proud to continue its partnership with Douglas County Schools this year by providing support for the Thursday September 11 Literacy and STEM Night at Gardnerville Elementary School. \nIn Spring 2025\, 27 Douglas County PreK/K educators participated in Nevada Robotics three-part METRICS – Mentoring Educators Teaching Robotics and Innovation in Computer Science – professional development.  The teachers explored using robots as learning tools to teach technology/computer science\, math\, and literacy/ELA standards using lessons called Books and Bots. These lessons\, which are a Nevada Robotics original innovation\, partner popular story books with activities to enhance basic concepts in a variety of disciplines.
