Summer 2023

FIRST is more than robots; and we are more than FIRST. 

The FIRST Robotics seasons last from late summer to mid-spring; after that, teams are left without competitions or, sometimes, without something technical at all. Superior STEAM is different; because we are a 4-H Club, and not just a robotics team or school class, we look for other STEAM competitions to compete in and/or plan trainings, lessons, and workshops for the summer. 

Below is a list of the planned STEAM activities for the Summer of 2023.

Note: The list of activities and their descriptions are ever-changing. Not all activities may be done.

Osmo Class

"Osmo puts the fun in building learning fundamentals through the magic of hands-on play, tangible pieces and digital fun!" Learn reading, math, and more through the interactive app and tablet. 

Every Friday night starting on Aug 18th students will use the Osmo program to practice and better understand what they're learning in school. This will be taught by Miss Haley from IU School of Education. She is going into her junior year & has taught other IU educational classes with us.

Assessments will take place on Aug 18th. Parents will receive automatic progress updates from the app. Please make sure to use the right email when registering. 

The Osmo program is loved by all ages, but this class is specially for Pre-K through 6th grade. Every Friday night starting on Aug 18th students will use the Osmo program to practice and better understand what they're learning in school. 

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

After learning how to use 3D design software, students will use the software to create models on their own. Past models include a drone that the club 3D printed.

Potential models for students to create include: keychain, button maker, building floor plan, etc. 

The class will take place in late June or July.

Thank you to Solidworks for providing software seats for our club. 

2nd Annual STEAM Nights

The best way to know that you have learned something is to teach it to someone else. That is why our students will be creating and operating two, three-hour a night workshops for other students in our community. This will cover STEAM topics that the students have learned during their time in the club.

This will be held at the Sandy and Danny Daugherty Center for STEAM Excellence on July 20th & 21st 5-8pm.
