So you’re a Grade 6-12 Teacher with a Robot Kit…Now what?

Session Format: In-Person

Target Audience: 6th-12th Grade Teachers

Presenter: Nathan Kenner, Engineering Teacher, West High School, Knoxville, TN

This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to increase their utilization of any robotics materials they have (or want to have!) in their school. We will explore the various options for robotics education - including Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, Boe Bots, Spheros, and XRPs - and options and examples for using robotics in your classroom will be shared. You will walk away with specific lesson plans or ideas that you will be able to implement with your next robotics unit. Participants are encouraged to bring any materials and kits from their school that would like to use.
