  1. Robots A PowerfulSTEM Hook for any kid, any where! Russ Fisher-Ives Intel Ed Academy Los Angles, CA 5.11.14 russ@gotoif.org

  2. 21st Century industry • Robots are everywhere • Build with purpose; program for function • Fulfilling a need: • Dangerous / hostile environments • Workforce is limited • Repetitive tasks • Repeatable precision; accuracy

  3. But Y do they hook kids? • Moving parts! • Responsive! • Unlimited possibilities!

  4. And they’re FUN

  5. Skills that can bE learned • Teamwork • Problem solving • Innovation

  6. Skills that can Be learned • STEM applications • Systems integration • Trial & Error  Perseverance

  7. Research opportunities Testable Questions re: • Sensors for input-output applications • Materials & designs for efficiency • Optimal programming sequences

  8. Build your own

  9. Common k-12 Robot types VEX fischertechnik Lego

  10. Common k-12 Robot typesRaspberry pi pygmalionbotball

  11. Common k-12 Robot controllers Arduino uno raspberry pi Galileo

  12. Some Robot platroms & programming language

  13. Robot Academy Plans to Share with you… • 20 teams of international educators • Played building, programming, and testing • Shadowed the 13th Annual RoboRAVE International robot competition for ideas • Developed plans to start/expand a program LINK:www.gotoif.org

  14. Answer these questions • Robotics in our community? • Kids to recruit first? • Materials we have/need? • Training needed to start/continue? • Marketing will be done through?

  15. Start LocalLY • Promote local robot rallies • Plan for larger competitions • Don’t push; encourage

  16. USE Competitions • Goal oriented • Simple to complex challenges • Measureable progress • Worldwide; events weekly

  17. Run Playshops VS. workshops • Playshops: decentralized learning • Combine kids with adults • 20:1 for attendees: facilitators

  18. Key Strategies to use • Keep costs low: robots and tasks • Tasks; start easy; offer complex • Most adults have NO experience

  19. THINK outside the box • Optional Points (47% of 484 teams) • Simple tasks vs. complex challenges • Focus on: FUN while LEARNING; SHARING; TEAMWORK – not winning

  20. A robot education & competition program • Elementary, Middle, High School & BIG KIDS • Regional Events: • Mexico (6/2014) • Colombia (10/2014) • Spain (11/2014) • China (2/2015); • Czech Republic (3/2015) • Zambia (in planning)

  21. 20012014

  22. Closing Idea “Today’s Play, Tomorrow’s Pay” Play vs. work Adults work so they can go play… Well kids are the same….. so engage them with playing with robots!
