@everyone Please take a look at this before tonight. Its an intro to who you are and what FIRST is. If you think there should be changes to it please make them as comments. Just remember to keep it simple, the presentation is for kids 5th grade and younger. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZtmLRcCsbU3oEW0jz6j85E4jjkNY7T16qA42QLwTz8Y/edit?usp=sharing

Here is a brochure from First about their programs close to what we were talking about today: https://www.firstinspires.org/sites/default/files/uploads/resource_library/first-tech-challenge-mini-ft001.pdf

At yesterday's meeting we talked about the idea of a "donate to play" type carnival game to have at the october maker faire (and other events?). It seems like we were pretty excited about a rubber duck launching game. I'd like to gague other people's interest in making this thing. I'm thinking it'd be easiest to use my shop and that we could meet outside of normal meeting times. Your thoughts please!

That sounds great!
10:32 AM
I’ll start brainstorming by carnival like games that we could do
Avatar
Idea: make people build their own launching mechanisms
10:51 AM
Prizes are hats or something
Avatar
Yeah, we could have pre built parts, and people have to combine them.
Avatar
I really like the idea of having people build their own launchers but, it feels like it might be pretty hard to implement.
7:15 PM
There are only a few different flavors of launcher I can think of, but they all have radically differerent required pieces
Avatar
maybe get a small drivetrain working?
Avatar
Maybe have the carnival game would be getting a small drive train working
Avatar
I could maybe see a LEGO car race down a slope working, but I think that a full drivetrain is a bit too complicated

Is the mall penny spinner the vortex-looking thing where you roll a coin and it basically has a decaying orbit?
Avatar
Alex asked me to do some sketches regarding the options for booth games for the maker faire and subsequent outreach events. The idea being you all would have a better idea of what the options entail. I’ve added some notes to the sketches with some questions, thoughts, and opinions.

@everyone Here are the questions that we came up with, let me know if you have any other questions for him. What kind of engineer were you? What types of projects did you work on? What types of skills do engineers need to be successful? Where do engineers fit in the workflow of a project? How do you break down a project? How do you know when to stop brainstorming and start prototyping/building? How do you decide if a solution is too simple or too complicated? When should you over engineer something? (beef up or make it extra strong) - Is there a better way to ask this question?

@Sue I have to listen to the recording and i think he might have said it in there and i will listen to it tommorow or later tonight

Besides the font, everything looks ok. A few thoughts:
  • The optional questions shouldn't be asked, we have better things we can do during that time.
  • The things about cycles are too ambiguous.
Avatar
yeah i wasnt really sure about the optionals but we had similar ones last time i believe so i added them just in case also what should i add about the cycle questions (edited)
Avatar
  • Yeah, that makes sense. I think it's fine.
    • I'm not sure. I'll think about it, I just wanted to bring it up now.

oh alright thanks

You will need Spike Prime Sets (https://education.lego.com/en-us/products/lego-education-spike-prime-set/45678/) . They contain the robot and some Lego technic parts to help build a robot. You will likely need more than one of these and may need many depending on the size of the group. Additionally you likely want to have additional Lego Technics parts such as frames, connectors and beams. We can help you in this area as we have many parts. We do have a Lego EV3 which is the older robot but could get you started learning with.
Meet SPIKE Prime, your secondary school solution to build students' confidence and introduce 21st century STEM skills. Ideal for classrooms, after school and home.

Fairly big news for outreach team, I'm working at Pvca's summer camp for the week in the robotics room with a guy from Cosmic Loop, where we've been doing Fll styled daily robotics challenges. The news is starting in august Pvca is starting a Ftc and Fll team, Cosmic Loop has also been trying to start teams up there too. I think Cosmic Loop is helping them out or atleast the guy is, I plan on doing the same if anyone else is interested let me know. I dont know when it'll be or if even we can nor anymore information at the moment, but I have the person I'm working with's number, aswell as some of the teachers and I know who the coach is or atleast who they offered it to, so just something to think about.
