Robotics
Bethany Lutheran School now offers a Robotics class for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Each class will meet once a week and use material from Parallax, INC. in building and learning to program a "Boe-Bot." No programming or model building experience is necessary. Due to the cost of the robot kit, the students will work in teams.
