ROCKETS ROBOTICS & ARITHMETIC

By going through the process of building a robot in the classroom, students explore many different learning pathways. It’s amazing to watch students’ passions grow in subjects that they never knew they would love.

​

Some of our students have cultivated an interest in 3D printing and coding, and have even gone as far as to take apart household appliances because they have a new-found interest in mechanics. We can watch these students build their own learning pathways because robotics offers them an open platform where they can decide where to go with their experimentations. For teachers, a robotics curriculum naturally allows us to take an individualized approach to each student’s learning, helping to nurture their passions even further.

​

MASE is one of the first schools in the Memphis area to use VEX, Seaperch, and first robotics. This, however, will be the first year that we will have a full robotics season hopefully qualifying for State Championship or even VEX Worlds in May of 2020.

​

Mr. Fortier and Mr. Cooley have been traveling with teams and are hoping to have no less than 6 VEX teams representing the Phoenix this year!
