RV Robotics, Science, Computer Science, & STEAM ELD Week 11/9 - 13/2026

Hello Everyone!

This is the last week of Trimester 1!  Wednesday is the last day to turn in any missing or incomplete work.  It is also the last day to resubmit work for a higher grade.  All classes are different so please check with your teachers for specific dates.

Robotics, Computer Science, and ELD classes will be finishing presntations and starting to work on 3d designs to finish up the trimester.

Science classes are ending Unit 1 in Green Ninja.  We will be starting to study one of our local endangered birds, the Snowy Plover.  We will also be taking a field trip on November 17 to view the nesting grounds of these small and unique birds.

We also have Wednesday off as we honor our military on Veteren's Day.  Please check out this video to learn more about the importance of the day and how to thank our service members for their vital service.

Veteren's Day is Wednesday, 11th of November.  Here is some information that we will be looking at, but you can use it at home if you want to share it with your family.

What is Veteren's Day - Several videos covering the Veteren's Administration and the cost of being a Vet

Veteren's Day Unit - Contains resources for more information

Moving on...In Aviation, and all other industries, the need for rapid solutions to manufacturing or repair/modifications is crucial.  This is where addative and subtractive manufacturing come into the picture.  3D printing and Laser Cutting have found a place in rapid prototyping and development.  We'll be looking into what manufacturing is and how these new technologies are making an impact.  Then we'll start building!
