Red Rover, RoboLab, LEGO Robotics and SENSORSCITY  LEGO Projects of Linda Hamilton

Space exploration by students can get them great places.  I wanted to do the Red Rover project with the Davis Creek Elementary School and so got into grant writing.  NASA Space Grant Consortium gave me the initial money to buy the LEGO and Red Rover software.
Davis Creek students have connected with after school students in the area.  Those students and others that have gone on to middle school have connected through after school FLL and in classes with other teachers.  The high school where Homer Hickam went built RCX projects and teleoperated the DC rover.  Combining the Red Rover projects of Davis Creek, Barboursville Middle and Big Creek High lead to Internet rocket launching by LEGO robotics.
