As we know, the demand for professionals in automation requiring computer science and related disciplines continues to grow. Cultivating a generation with Computational Thinking and Engineering is becoming indispensable.
In the robotics club students receive the dynamic knowledge offered under interdisciplinary robotics program. It covers mechanical functions to build mobile contraptions, and heavily focuses on programming to create autonomous robots. Students program their robots to solve various challenging projects that simulate real life scenarios. All projects are conducted through engineering process. It aims to build and strengthen students’ analytical and computational skill. Inherently, it will make engineering intuition and thinking outside the box as second nature.
The Robotics Club at CHP is run by Mrs. Bhalla in liaison with Storming Robots. She has taught robotics to Grades 4 to 10 in the past four years at the adroit robotics learning center, Storming Robots. Storming Robots has proven its success in building students in engineering education career in college, through their students’ achievements.

Understanding Standardized Testing In New Jersey Most parents are confused about standardized tests. Trying to research and understand what standardized tests are all about is daunting. Taking it can be stressful for your child because the process seems opaque or unnecessary, or you may question the validity of these tests. We don’t ever want you to feel in the dark about your child’s education, so we are hoping that this can help you understand standardized testing a little better — what it is, how it is administered, how it is used by the State, and what you can do to help ease your student’s mind about the process.
