10/2/10 Fourth Saturday

Mrs. McKnight is fixing the computer .

Tia & Jordan are building a robot.

Shaylee & Kade are programming a robot to go in a square.

Mr. Hutchison was being all teachery & calling us monkeys.

The programming team created a robot that still needs to a better program. The research team is looking up current treatments for diabetic ulcers.  They learned that ulcers are caused by poor circulation.   The building team was trying to make a box that can push and capture game pieces.

9-28-10 The Third Tuesday

Our research team found out that the problem we are addressing is that there are lot of people with diabetic ulcers. Our solution is a bandaid with an extra cellular matrix on it. This matrix will help heal the diabetic ulcers faster.  The programming team is creating a program to do the first mission. The building team is working on attachments connected to a third motor.  We worked hard today, but still have a lot to do.

9-24-10 Third Saturday

       Today we started too work on another robot. Jason also taught Kai Yu, Natalie, and Jordan to work together to program a robot  to do a challenge. Our research team found out that 1.2 to 3 in every thousand people have diabetes and that you can use our extracellular matrix band aid to help diabetic ulcers.
