Robotics Class:  Introduction to Motion Programming and Photo Resistors


Danny Hutton, Instructor of Information and Communications Technology at Louisiana Delta Community College (West Monroe Campus) and Laura Duke, Physics and Robotics Instructor at West Monroe High School, got the campers started on one of the hallmarks of the camp, robotics programming.



Utilizing the PBASIC programming language and Parallax Boe-Bots, students were introduced to the basics of robotics inclusive of assembling circuits, programming the robots to move in multiple directions, as well as programming the robots to recognize input from photo resistors.

Communication Challenge: Gum Drop Tower

6/16/2014 02:49:00 PM | Labels: , , , , ,

Communication Challenge:  One-Way vs. Two-Way Communication 


Ryan Pierce, Instructor of Business and Technology for Louisiana Delta Community College, Monroe Campus, gave the second lecture of the day as a follow-up to the first habit of being proactive. His talk introduced concepts relating to adversity and Paul Stoltz's "Adversity Quotient" research. Students took an assessment to gain insight into their will to succeed, perseverance, ability to handle the challenges of life, and the level of responsibility one feel’s to determine their life’s path.


On the heels of this information, came the first team challenge of the camp.  Each group was required to build a complex structure made of gum drops and tooth picks but were initially limited to one-way communication principles.  Campers took on management, runner, and builder positions and were only allowed to talk down the organizational structure.  After some time of this, the lines of communication were opened up to allow two-way communication.




       Gum Drop
Structure Challenge
Team 6 - Team Royalty          16pts
Team 2 - Big Kats          14pts
Team 7 - Fire Cobras          12pts
Team 5 - MVP          10pts
Team 3 - Blue Titans            8pts
Team 1 - Silent Sloths            6pts
Team 8 - Time Lords            4pts

Ellen Hill: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

High school students from the Monroe area and beyond converged on Louisiana Delta Community College to participate in LA Delta's 2nd Annual STEM Summer Camp.  Ellen Hill, Dean of Special Programs, welcomed the campers and introduced them to Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, focusing on the first habit:  Be Proactive.  In summary, being proactive means:

  • taking initiative
  • accepting responsibility for your actions

  • choosing not to be a victim
  • choosing not to be reactive
  • choosing not to blame others
