Plyaq loved being the center of attention

Plyaq spent a week with the sixth graders at Bluejacket-Flint Elementary, inspiring them as they created their own robot sculptures. While bot-sitting, the students watched a video of our process, read a book called “Digging Up the Past,” learned about sustainability and the importance of reusing materials and wrote descriptive biographies of their creations. Photos of their projects can be found on our Flickr stream.

We stopped in for a visit and were given the most difficult task of choosing our favorite robots out of the bunch. See our selects and read up on their personalities on our blog.

Thanks to Lucas Shivers, along with the other sixth grade teachers at Bluejacket-Flint Elementary, for including us in such a fun and educational project for the kids.
