October 2015 MRC Monthly Student Newsletter
Written by: Mahek Kakkar, MRC Reporter

 

Welcome To Robotics!

 

To start off, I would like to acknowledge the fact that this year, McKamy Robotics has grown to 91 new and returning members!

 

The Robotics student meeting, a few weeks ago, was conducted by our President Kush, Vice President Sloan, Secretary Mahima, and Reporter Mahek.

 

It was their very first time conducting the monthly student meeting!

 

In the Robotics meeting we talked about the fundamental procedures of every monthly robotics meeting and participated in some fun activities.

The meeting started off to a great start by our President Kush with a welcome, Secretary Mahima explained the procedures for attendance and Nametags and Vice President Sloan went over briefly the MRC Team Code of Honor, that all the students and parents signed for each team.

 

Further more into the meeting, each team participated in an Ice Breaker challenge which was conducted by the Reporter, Mahek. In the Ice breaker, each team discussed three questions together regarding their future in McKamy Robotics. Throughout this activity, teams learned more about each other and hopefully bonded more as a team.

  

 

Below are the three designs that were submitted for our 2015-2016 MRC T-Shirt Designs! We voted via our iPads and "Robolution" designed by Ishita Patil was selected for 2015-2106.

 

Mrs. Martin provided an update on the parent mentor meeting last saturday and Mrs. Hein took us through the new online parts ordering process that your parent mentor will access through the secure parent access area. The weekly orders need to be submitted each week by Thursday at 8:00pm and will be received the following week with notification to your parent mentor.

 

We concluded the meeting with our returning designers sharing their experiences with new members. Each robotics team asked a few questions regarding a design plan for their robot.  With the help of our fellow returning members, many of those questions were answered and hopefully helped the teams gain a better understanding of the design process.

 

To conclude the newsletter I would like to thank everyone who has helped make McKamy Robotics Club become successful. I would like to thank the McKamy Robotics Booster Club Board, Mr. Blalack, Parent Mentors and and all of the MRC Members who participated in the last meeting.

 

Keep Calm and Robot On!
