Milwaukee Montessori School Robotics Club and Team students exhibit an increased capability of problem-solving development, through the integration of robots in the solution.
Robotics Club
Robotics Club members learn and experiment with gears, drive trains, and the LEGO NXT robot learning to design, construct, and program the robot to complete missions in groups of two. Many obstacle courses are completed with the advanced programming skills.
These are great teamwork building activities enriched with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

Robotics Team
The 2011 Robotics Team, Elemental Robots, competes in the FIRST LEGO League Competition and is composed of students chosen from the Spring 2011 Robotics Club.
On November 20th, 2011, Elemental Robots participated in the 2011 FIRST LEGO League-Food Factor, regional competition at Mukwonago High School. The team had been working toward this competition since the first week in September, 2011.
The students created their innovation they call the Germassassin. The young team of 10-13 yr olds took the food decontamination technologies including uv-c lights, bacteriophages, and ozone used in food plants, and combined them into an "iron" shaped device that the consumer can use daily.
They received the 1st Place Teamwork award!
And, they were also nominated for:
- Innovative Project Solution Award
- Presentation award
- Innovative Robot Design award
- Strategic Programming award
Congratulations Elemental Robotics Team!
