The students in Robotics Club at Forest Elementary School have  been having fun learning how to code two different sets of robots.

The image shows several students sitting at desks, focused on their laptop computers and engaged in what appears to be a classroom or educational setting. The background includes colorful posters and displays, suggesting an interactive and vibrant learning environment.

The fourth graders in the club meet every Thursday after school under the direction of Library Media Specialist Ms. Joanne Zienty.

A person's hands are drawing on a whiteboard, with a small toy robot figure placed in the foreground.

One of the coding systems they are currently using is called Ozobot, in which different colored markers are used to create paths for "Evo the Robot" to follow.

A group of young boys are gathered around a table, engaged in what appears to be a collaborative activity or discussion.

The robot uses optical sensors to follow the lines, detect colors and respond to code commands. Using block coding, the students had fun creating their own paths and mazes for "Evo" to follow.

The students also enjoyed building and coding the SPIKE Lego set. They had the opportunity to build any type of robot they wanted using different parts, motors and sensors.
