February 24 2016 Meeting

We were very fortunate to have with us today the Hatboro Horsham Educational Foundation Executive Director Nancy Delucia teachers Kevin Deissler , Dan Beck and students Zak Ibrahim, Sarah Marvin, Tyler Larsson and Catelin Blaszczynski. The Hatboro-Horsham Educational Foundation is a nonprofit organization created to encourage excellence and to enhance and enrich educational opportunities offered to the students of the Hatboro-Horsham School District. It would take a very long page to list how they accomplish this so I urge all of you to go to their website http://www.hhef.org/. 

Mr Deissler and Mr Beck talked about the Robotics program and the accomplishments of these students. There are 9 students in the club and 4 of them were with us today sharing their lego robots and teaching all of us how to operate them. Each student built their robot. Please take some time to see what the students are doing by going to Mr Deissler's website http://www.hatboro-horsham.org/Page/8317 and clicking on the u-tube link for the Lego Legends Project presentation....I never realized there were so many uses for a tissue box!!  The goal is to get Robotics in all of the Hatboro Horsham Schools. What do the students get out of this program....more then you realize...a sense of family, the fun of working together to solve problems, the importance of patience in solvng problems and doing projects, realizing that failure is always an option , how important it is to write everything down (easier to go back and fix a mistake if you know what you did)
