We feel so fortunate to have them take time from their busy schedules to explain the importance of taking care of our natural resources and how waters from streams affect our daily lives.<\/p>\n Keawe, Sig, Skylar, Errol, Luc, Karissa, Jaime, Bransyn, Gauge, Oisin<\/p><\/div>\n Busy Programming their EV3 robots<\/p><\/div>\n Girls are excellent programmers!!!!<\/p><\/div>\n Every year, FIRST LEGO League releases a Challenge, which is based on a real-world scientific topic. Each Challenge has three parts: The Robot Game, the Project, and the Core Values. A team of up to ten children participate in the Challenge by programming an autonomous robot to score points on a themed playing field (RobotCHALLENGE\u00aeGame), developing a solution to a problem they have identified (Project), all guided by the FIRST LEGO League Core Values.<\/p>\n Practicing their Team Building skills!<\/p><\/div>\n This year\u02bbs theme is Hydro Dynamics. This year\u2019s Project challenge is to improve the way people find, transport, use, or dispose of water.\u00a0By designing Challenges around such topics, participants are exposed to potential career paths within a chosen Challenge topic, in addition to solidifying the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) principles that naturally come from participating in the program. Team members also learn valuable life and employment skills which will benefit them no matter which career path they choose.\u00a0Students from all across the nation are participating in these challenges. The official challenge was released on August 30th through the First LEGO League (FLL). The competition will be held on November 11, 2017 at the Kamehameha High School Campus.<\/p>\n We wish our FIRST LEGO League best of luck!<\/p>\n Lego Team 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n T.E.A.M.

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\nCongratulations <\/strong>to our\u00a0new 2017-2018 Kamehameha Maui Elementary First LEGO League Robotics Team members!<\/h2>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>The First Lego Team Sushi Ninjas were so fortunate to have Mr. Dane Maxwell talk to us about his passion for drones. \u00a0He explained to us how a drone is built and how it flies and can capture video on its flight. The Phantom Drone is usually no heavier than 10 pounds and can fly as fast as 45\u00a0miles an hour.\u00a0\u00a0The drone Mr. Maxwell built and races can reach speeds up to 80 miles per hour. Each of the team members got a chance to fly the drone high above the Kamehameha Kahekili\u00a0field! \u00a0We appreciate having such knowledgeable ohana as a resource.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>N<\/p>\n<\/a>Our Animal Allies Lego Board is all set up…ready for the Sushi Ninjas to program their Ev3 on various missions. \u00a0Our Sushi Ninjas have been spending meeting time after school to build the various missions.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> Our 5th grade team, the “Sushi Ninjas” has been working very hard to prepare for this year’s First Lego League competition on November 12 at Kamehameha High School Kaulaheanuiokamoku Gym. These dedicated haumana have been working every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after school. This year’s theme is Animal Allies. \u00a0They are working as a team, practicing core values, designing an innovative solution to a real world animal problem and building a robot that will hopefully complete 15 missions on Challenge Day.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
