Tornado Warning

Chris M. - Owlbot Researcher - 7th Grade

This week's robotics practice started off with a tornado warning. We had to evacuate the classroom and moved into the front hallway. But that didn't stop us from having practice!! About 30 seconds later, they cancelled the warning and let us back into our classrooms. So lets now get to business!!

The Green Machine researchers have selected to research memory loss. Their subject was influenced by the visit of our senior mentor, Mrs. Smith.

The Owlbots have decided to research something related to medical problems for seniors. One idea we are focusing on is an automated medicine dispenser. An automated dispenser would distribute a pill at the selected time so seniors wouldn't forgot their medication. We are now going to do market research to see if there is a dispenser of this type already available. If not, we intend to speak with members of the medical community and seniors if this is something we should pursue as a viable senior solution. As a team, we need to encourage each other to stay on schedule so we can be prepared for our presentation deadline. We'll update you on our progress!!!
