About:

We are pleased to announce that Summerour Middle School is offering Lego Club in the 2021-22 school year.  The purpose of the club is twofold, first it will provide students an opportunity to learn and apply problem solving techniques through critical thinking.    Secondly, the Lego club will prepare students for the First Lego League Regional Competition, which will occur in December.

During the club meetings, students will focus on a real-world problem. Then, they will critically think to design multiple solutions to the problem. They will also learn to program a robot using the icon­ based programming software. Club meetings will involve the students in programming their robots to accomplish tasks and solve challenges. Problem solving and logical thinking skills will be emphasized in every club session.

Club will meet twice a week for one hour sessions. We will decide the day and the time to meet according to the availability of group members. Depending on the number of applications, we may have a try out day to finalize the team members.

If you want to participate in robotics club then please email Mrs. Beg or Dr. Shukla by Friday, October 1, 2021. We will send the application to interested students only.

LEARNING TO LEAD IN A TECHNICAL WORLD

Who are TSA Members?
The Technology Student Association (TSA) is a national organization of students engaged in science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM). Open to students enrolled in or who have completed technology education courses, TSA’s membership includes more than 250,000 middle and high school students across the United States. TSA is supported by educators, parents and business leaders who believe in the need for a
technologically literate society. Members learn through exciting competitive events, leadership opportunities and much more. The diversity
of activities makes TSA a positive experience for every student. From engineers to business managers, our alumni credit TSA with a positive
influence on their lives.

Chapters
TSA chapters take the study of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) beyond the classroom and give students the chance to pursue
academic challenges among friends with similar goals and interests. Together, chapter members work on competitive events, attend conferences on
the state and national levels and have a good time raising funds to get there. Chapter organization develops leadership, as members may become
officers within their state and then run nationally. Our chapters are committed to a national service project and are among the most service-oriented groups in the community.
