First Lego League: Junior

On Saturday May 18, 2013, Prudence Learning Center held its First Lego League event and the students did an amazing job! They were able to work together in order to create a telephone that would better assist the seniors within our community. Along with their verbal presentation, the students were able to present a physical model of their invention which was made solely of Legos.Thank you to all who came to support our future scientists. We would also like to thank our Seniors who were a part of this particular project.

Reading Room:Prudence Learning Center’s Reading Room has officially begun as of June 3, 2013. This program will allow your child to become more comfortable with reading to themselves and aloud.

While in the Reading Room, students are given a two hour time period which allows them to catch up on assigned summer reading. Also, within this two hour time period, students will work one-on-one with a Reading Coordinator who will help them better their pronunciation and comprehension skills. Are you or your student interested in PLC’s Reading Room? If so, please contact Cynthia Pugh.

4th Annual CORI Robotics Invitational

On Saturday June 22, 2013, between 10am-6pm, the 4th annual FIRST, Connect a Million Minds Cori Robotics Invitational took place at Dublin Coffman High school. This one day event showcased robots created and operated by 30 different teams of high school students from central Ohio and surrounding areas.

High school students were given the opportunity to work with professional engineering and science mentors for over six weeks to build their team’s robots. These robots were as big as 5 feet tall and weighed around 120 pounds. As part of the competition, the robots competed in a game by the name of Ultimate Ascent, which was based on the game Ultimate Frisbee. During this game, the robots were to flip Frisbees into designated targets.

This event was extremely fun and full of energy! Please, continue to follow us for more information on this year’s winners as well as next year’s competition.
