Page 3 Jgnuary 29, 2 0 0 9 Robotics club studies wind power generation B y Leslie M itts Spilyay Tymoo W ind power served as a topic o f exploration for lo cal youth involved with the Lego Robotics Club recendy. Students involved with the club built windmills o ut o f cardboard in attem pt to see what type o f windmill is most efficient. Shawn M orford, o f OSU Extension Services, said the Tribes’ exploration o f renew able energy sources led to the activity for the Lego Robot ics Club last week as they tried to teach students about how windmills work. The club is conducted by OSU Extension Services as part o f the 4-H S.E.T. Pro gram. S.E.T. stands for Sci ence, Engineering, and Tech nology. While the club is designed fo r stu d e n ts ages 9-14, M orford said, they welcome students o f any ages.' The club has been meet ing in conjunction with Early Childhood Education as stu dents from the after-school program at E C E m et w ith instructors from OSU Exten sion Services. Now, M orford said, they plan to m eet at the Educa tion Building in order to give all students a chance to at tend. So far this year students h av e b u ilt ro b o ts o u t o f Legos and programmed them to com plete specific tasks, M orford said. The club aims to teach sci ence to students in a way that Natasha Lopez (above) joined Austin Schjoll and Jake Frank (below, left to right) in a windmill building experiment at a recent Lego Robotics Club meeting. they might n ot get in the class room. “The idea is to engage kids into getting excited about sci ence and technology in a fun way,” M orford explained. “ I t m akes scien ce fu n ,” M orford said. “They don’t re ally know that they’re learning science because they’re just do ing activities.” Because the students com.- plete very hands-on projects, she added, there is a lot o f trial and error involved. Wârm Springs Mârkri Jake F rank, 8, is a fre quent club participant and even travelled to B end to compete in the Lego Robot ics competition. As for w hat he’s learned, F rank said, h e ’s definitely learned a lot about robots. The best part o f the com petition, he added, was get ting to hand out trophies to the winners. Though his robot didn’t do as well in the competition as he had hoped, Frank said he learned a lot through the ex perience. “My favorite part is when you get to program them ,” Frank said. “T hen we just have fun.” Frank, M orford said, has excelled in his participation with the club. “H e has been very enthu siastic about it and very com m itted to it,” M orford ex plained. Frank said he didn’t expect to learn so much through the L ego R o b o tic s C lub. “ I thought it would be boring, but it was fun,” he explained. A ustin Schjoll, 9, w orks alongside Frank in the Lego R obotics C lub and agreed that they’ve had fun building robots. Plus, Schjoll said, “You get to learn more new stuff.” Eventually the club will ex p lo re ro c k e try as w ell, M orford said. The Lego Robotics Club meets every Wednesday after school at the Education Build ing.
