Dear Teachers, Students,
Parents, Family Members and Friends,
We would like to invite
you and your family to attend "Robotics Park", the 17th
annual spring event of the Rhode Island School of the Future (RISF) and the largest K-12 robotic event in the country.
Student created robotic presentations and demonstrations will be
open to the public on Saturday, April 25th from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00
p.m. at Martin Middle Schoolin East Providence. Touring
the park is open to the public and free of charge. This annual event
is our celebration event for National Science and Technology Month and a time for students, educators, parents and the community to appreciate and celebrate student inventiveness. The main activities of the day include student
demonstrations from the Robotic Animal Design Challenge, the Robotic
Interactive Challenge, The Chain Reaction Machine event, the Robotics Park Parade, Junior FIRST LEGO League, and the Creature Feature Feeding Frenzy. The Park events also include Lego Jewelry Design Activities.
Robotics Park is filled with student designed and built robotic creations. Rhode Island students
of all ages will
be exhibiting an array of interesting robotic inventions that they
have created in school or in after-school
activities..
Students have spent a
great deal of time researching, designing, building and programming
robots that will be sure to delight and entertain you. Overall we
expect over 250 robots, the work of over 1000 students, to be included
in the16th annual event. Demonstration animal robots will fill the
Robotic Park Zoo cages and will imitate behaviors exhibited by the
real animals within the confines of student created realistic environments.
Interactive robots will tickle your imagination in surprising ways.There
will also be opportunities to take part in hands-on activities designed
to engage visitors in the design process and an opportunity to watch
our sixth annual Robotic Chain Reaction event as it is triggered
several times throughout the day and the Robotics Park Parade
as it winds it way through the halls of Martin Middle SchooI.
We hope you and your
family will join us for the festivities. It will be a wonderful
opportunity to see the minds of our youngsters at work and to learn
new things ourselves. For more information go to: http://risf.net/RoboPark.htm
See you at Robotics Park!!
Sincerely,
Rebekah Gendron
Director, Rhode Island School of the Future
