Lego robotics it’s a club which was started in children’s garden home and school by a loving and caring mother called Mum Kathleen Chromicz who was working at the international school of Kenya and She came to visit the home and saw that the children were interested in learning robotics and With all the effort she decided that she is going to start a robotics class where the children will get a wonderful opportunity to do robotics where they will get an opportunity to share ideas, create, work as a team ,innovate and lean how to program an ev3 robot and also get to know and socialize with other people without any fear.

Mum Kathleen then organized and we were able to expand more on our robotics knowledge by getting the opportunity to study in the international school of Kenya where by we would visit them every Thursday and work together the kids who were doing robotics and through that we the children from children’s garden were able to have courage in speaking In Front of people and also in socializing with the other people, we also got to know on how to work as a team, program and also interacted with ISK kids every Thursday where we taught them what we knew and also they told us what they knew that we didn’t know. In ISK we were able to explore many things and machines. First we didn’t even know how to use computers but after going there we at least saw computers which we had not seen before being mac which we were really unable to use but as we are speaking right now we can operate those machines. We also met machines like 3D printers, laser cutters and also machines used in wood work and machines used in cutting plastic into small pieces which could be used to make other solids out of plastic.

Mum Kathleen then provided a wonderful chance to join the FLL(first Lego league)competitions which happened every year in the month of February across Africa and also internationally. Here the winners were given an opportunity to compete internationally that is they were paid for Visa and Take their Flights up to Texas Where the international competition took place. Talking of FLL competition it’s after having knowledge in Lego now this was more of innovation and discovery. First, the competition is categorized in 3 categories we have the project category where you mainly focus on the theme of the year’s competition since we have different and new themes after every year, second category we have the robot game where you are provided with a mat which has different missions and you have to come up with a well designed robot to play those missions and the 3rd stage where you present your core values stating how you were working before the competition day where you explain How Teamwork was enhanced, what you discovered, what you impacted others, if you had fun and many more.

We are always happy for the competition and the wonderful chance. We always work hard for the competition and talking of this months competition we worked extra hard and on the 4th competition this month we took the lead on Robot game where we overthrew all the other teams and overall performance we were at the 3rd position which we are really proud because that is what we worked for all this time from last year. I would like to take this wonderful opportunity to thank Mum Kathleen and the family who made this chance for us and still opening more, for the big, loving and kind heart that You have for us and we are really grateful and we love you so much. Right now many of us have the skills when it comes to programming, speaking Infront of people, identify an issue in a certain place and looking for the appropriate solution which will help us in the school and in our day today life.
