To the CJP Community,
Robotics Residency at CJP
We’re excited to announce that the CJP Robotics Residency with EZ-Robot has officially launched this week. Six classes – Ms. Youngblood, Ms. Ismail, Ms. Pabst, Ms. Cooke, Ms. Devoe, and Ms. Wilpert – are kicking off this innovative program. Each class will enjoy a full week of hands-on instruction with EZ Robot instructors, setting the stage for our exploration of science, math, robotics and coding. The work with the robots will continue throughout the year, providing students with ongoing opportunities to engage and learn.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the EZ-Robot instructors for their invaluable guidance, as well as to the parent volunteers who have signed up to support our students’ learning. A special shout-out goes to TC Energy for their generous donation, which helped fund the robotics kits for our residency. Finally, we’d like to express our gratitude to our amazing school council for their support in funding the learning and training aspects of this initiative. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
