Roger Rowe is once again excited to offer Robotics!
Roger Rowe is utilizing the First Inspires / Lego international program to make robotics available to our students. The First Inspires / Lego programs introduce science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEM) to children grades K-8 through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's students and teachers build a better future together.
As the new K-5 principal at Roger Rowe, I am extremely excited to be involved in this amazing experience. I have seen first hand in past principal roles the value of robotics and team competition. We know that excellence happens when we invest in leadership and empower our staff to do great work. I am honored to recognize our team:
Vivian Overstreet will be coordinating the First Lego League (FLL) Explore program (Grades K-3)
Collin Schumpp will be coordinating the FLL Challenge program (grades 4-8) and will be supporting our First Tech Challenge team (grades 7-8).
Please meet our instructors and coaches:
Tom Pataluch
FLL Instructor and FTC Supervising Coach
Erik Shamsedeen
FTC Head Coach
Dima Brinza
Supporting Instructor
Ella Ju

Caleb Rowden
