Fifth Graders Build Coding, Teamwork Skills in Robotics Workshop

Students working together in the robotics workshop.

Frankfort-Schuyler fifth graders in the Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES Honors Program took part in a robotics workshop on March 26.

The session was led by Laurie Yager of the Mohawk Regional Information Center, who guided students through hands-on coding activities. Students worked in pairs to program LEGO robots and complete a variety of challenges.

As they worked, students practiced problem-solving and built teamwork skills while testing and adjusting their code. They also had the chance to try new ideas and design their own robot tasks.

The annual fifth grade robotics workshop helps students strengthen engineering skills while encouraging creativity and collaboration.
