CLU Robotics: a path forward in math and science learning
Twenty eight percent of CLU students in grades 6 - 12 currently participate in robotics elective courses as part of their individualized learning plan.
Passionate about the value of education, Christi Edelbrock and the
Edelbrock Family Foundation
partnered with CLU in 2012 to create a program that would cultivate student
interests
and inspire math and science learning: CLU Robotics.
Today, this program includes two Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accredited elective courses: Hobby Level Radio Controlled Robotics and Advanced Hobby Level Radio Controlled Robotics. Taken together, these hands-on, project-based courses offer students opportunities to learn robotic system fundamentals, explore drafting and design, and acquire fabrication skills for creating
custom
robotic
vehicles
.
CLU thanks Christi Edelbrock and the Edelbrock Family Foundation for their ongoing charitable support of this program and our school. Supporters like the Edelbrock Family Foundation ensure CLU has the resources necessary to encourage our students' interests, celebrate their unique abilities, and enable them to become 21st century learners.
Next up for the CLU Robotics Program will be a tour of the Robinson Helicopter Company, the world's leading manufacturer of civil helicopters.
