Valley City  (VCSU Newsletter) VCSU’s Great Plains STEM Education Center (GPSEC) hosted two groups of Gussner Elementary 5th grade students from Jamestown for a session in LEGO Robotics on May 11.  The students were accompanied by their teachers, Anita Frey and Tami Maus.

The students engaged in the building and coding of multiple robots using LEGO’s WeDo 2.0 robotics kits. The activities are designed to increase students’ curiosity and science skills, while also enhancing their engineering design and computer coding skills. During their visit to VCSU the students also had the opportunity to view a planetarium show and tour VCSU’s Medicine Wheel Park.

The visit to GPSEC has become an annual event for Gussner 5th graders. After the sessions, Ms. Frey said, “I just wanted to thank you again for the STEM activities yesterday! The kids loved it! They already asked when they can come back! Thank you so much for your time and patience with our students! See you again next year.”
