CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Pomo School cafeteria was humming with the excited buzz of students who were engaged in building and programming Lego robots.
For three Fridays in January they had two hour sessions with the kits and were able to create most of the twelve different robots.
“This is really awesome. The kids love it!” said program director Barbara Montalvan.
The kits and laptops were provided by the Children’s Museum of Art and Science (CMAS).
CMAS volunteers run the workshops for students in grades second through eighth.
The workshops are always free.
Working with the kits provides students with hands-on experiences with engineering, physics, computer programming, problem solving and critical thinking skills. But mostly, it’s just fun.
In February, CMAS worked with the students of the Konocti Christian Academy in Lakeport.
CMAS offers the two hour session to any after school program, second through eighth grade class, private, charter or home schooled students in Lake County.
Contact Billy Gear at 707-279-1514 to schedule a session.

People are finishing up their credits like crazy here at Carlé High School!
These students include Sabrina Farnan, Marla Mitchell, Constance Hazelwood, Jay Brown, Kasandra Colwell and Chelsea Schlossler.
Great job on presenting your amazing portfolios and congratulations on graduating! The Carlé Chronicle wishes you luck in the paths you want to take in life.
The Carlé Chronicle wants to give a shout out to Shelby Posada, executive director of the Lake County Arts Council. While the writer was on a field trip there, Posada explained interest in the article and said she loves to read it every time it is published. Thank you so much for reading with such enthusiasm, it is much appreciated!
This is the last article you will see written by me, Kasandra Colwell. I cannot begin to explain just how thankful I am to have had this opportunity to write and be published. I have always been so passionate about writing, but never did I think I’d be writing in the paper at 17.
I feel so proud to represent such an amazing school as a writer and graduate. Carlé is such an amazing environment to learn in, it is a place where students can pursue a variety of different creative mediums.
Carlé is a place to dream big, a place to pursue and chase those dreams. I have never seen a school staff so dedicated to helping the students be the absolute best they can be.
I would greatly recommend Carlé to anybody looking for a high school where they can excel to their full capabilities without restrictions.
Carlé has done so much for me, the teachers have shown me how confident I should really be in the things I’m capable of.
I was able to catch up on credits that I missed out on at other schools because they were not the perfect fit I needed. I found the perfect fit at Carlé, and now I’m looking forward to finding the perfect college to attend.
This article has been so emotional to write because I am so excited to jump into the adult world, but also because Carlé has prepared me for this experience. Carlé has helped me in the best way possible every step of the way.
Goodbye my lovely readers, thank you for reading! I hope you continue reading as this fantastic opportunity is passed on to Charles Warren. Charles Warren, I wish you luck in writing the article and I just know that you will have the best time writing it.
Kasandra Colwell is a graduation senior at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
