The Clubhouse kids were playing around with the two-camera feature of Adobe Visual Communicator and this is what they came up with…
We are open – Thursday, December 30th, 10:00-4:00 at the Robotics Center for all youth interested in robots. Come build a Lego ‘bot or jump in and be part of the team getting ready for the VEX competition.
With the school break approaching (and Kurt needing to take some vacation time before he loses it) – here are the Clubhouse holiday hours and locations.
The Clubhouse will be CLOSED from Friday, December 17 to Friday December 24.
The Clubhouse will be OPEN (at Harrison Prep) Monday December 27, Tuesday December 28, and Wednesday December 29 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.
The Robotics Center (at Lakewood Pres.) will be open on December 30th, from 9:00 to 4:00.
The Clubhouse staff wishes everyone a happy and safe holiday.
We have TWO more practices until Saturday’s Competition.
If you are on the robotics team then please make both practices this week.
More information on the event is HERE.
Rain, our amazing assistant coordinator, is leaving the Clubhouse because she is adopting a two-year-old. Sounds like fun – but surely a handful that will make it hard for her to manage the Clubhouse. You can email her with advice or wish her the best.
Anyways, the Clubhouse has a position open for someone interested in running Girls’ Day, Wednesday coed days, and covering for Kurt when he is on vacation. The position description is located at http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/dist/hr/position?id=4. You must fill out the online application to be considered.
The Monday/Wednesday program at the Clubhouse at Harrison Prep. will be affected until the position is filled and the person trained. Please check the Clubhouse calendar for details and changes. Monday/Wednesdays at the Robotics Center will continue unchanged.
The Robotics Center is open every Monday and Wednesday from 3:00 to 7:00. Members can drop by anytime.
Right now we are trying to find the best NXT design to navigate the course. Once that is done – we need coders to create subroutines and programs for each of the challenges.
We are also creating a “retro” bot using the 2.0 system (which is still legal). It would be kind-of-cool to have the older ‘bot compete. We again need coders and engineers to work on the retro team.
We also need researchers to create the content on bio-medical engineering for our presentation.
We are also waiting for the VEX practice kit to come in. Once we have the kit then middle and high-schoolers can start designing the VEX bots for the competition.
The Clubhouse will be CLOSED on Friday, September 17th. The Clubhouse will be at the All-City Tailgate Party filming the stage events. If you want to help out then show up and check in with Kurt. He will be at the Lakewood’s Promise booth. We will need help handing out flyers, shooting video, and taking pictures.
