<P><SPAN>In partnership with each of our host schools, LSA develops a Robotics Program to augment existing after school programs. The children spend at least 90 minutes each week in robotics-centric activities which foster leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, persistence, and communication skills. Students build, program, and debug robots to accomplish increasingly difficult challenges. The Robotics curriculum includes:</SPAN></P>
