Last week, Bethpage High School’s award-winning robotics team, the Regal Eagles, led a special series of hands-on robotics sessions for students of all ages and abilities in the Extended School Year (ESY) program, held at Bethpage High School.
Using LEGO Spike Prime kits from LEGO Education, the Regal Eagles guided students through the process of building and programming structures and vehicles that could be operated via tablet. The sessions not only introduced students to the exciting world of robotics and coding, but also reinforced important skills such as fine motor coordination, following step-by-step instructions, and teamwork.
This meaningful collaboration highlighted the power of peer mentorship and gave ESY students the opportunity to explore STEM in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment.
