  • Prep Work for Lab 6 Update
    We have made some minor adjustments to the prep material for lab 6. In particular, much of the context for the planned exercise has been moved into the prep material so that you have additional time to think about the context before coming to lab to implement the strategy. Please take advantage of this and ask questions about the context before coming to class if anything is unclear.

  • Learning Team Submission for Lab 3

    We apologize for the confusion that resulted from the Zoom breakout room assignments not accurately reflecting the learning team assignments on the website. The Zoom settings have been updated and next week you should see the same people in your breakout room as are listed on your Team Assignments page under your Control Panel.

    For the lab 3 team activity, you have two options:

    1. Finalize the discussion you had with the members of your breakout room and have one person submit. The names on your PDF document may not align with the names listed on the submission page and that is OK.
    2. Reach out to your assigned learning team as listed on the website and complete the discussion with them. One person will submit a PDF document and in this case the names on the document will align with the names listed on the submission page.

    The lab 4 submission should be a lot smoother!

  • FIRST Lego League Volunteer Opportunity (Can use for SEEC extra credit!!!)
    I am looking for volunteers to coordinate Zoom sessions for judges, referees, and middle school robotics teams on the following dates:
    • Saturday March 6th from 12:45p - 3:15p or 3:00p to 5:15p
    • Saturday March 27th from 12:45p - 3:15p or 3:00p to 5:15p

    Your primary responsibility will be to admit middle school robotics teams into a Zoom breakout room based on their judging schedule. This is an easy volunteer opportunity and you can have a great impact on some young, aspiring engineers!

    If you need volunteer hours for class extra credit or a campus requirement and are interested in volunteering, please click on the link above. I will contact you with more info. Thanks! Dr. Ellestad
