Educational Robotics Presentation Materials from Techapalooza
This is all of the information I used for my presentation/activity at Techapalooza 2012. If you are interested in learning more about this please email me or the CREATE Lab.
About Arts and BotsThe Arts and Bots Project is where students combine craft materials, robotic components, and a custom visual-programming tool to build and animate their own robotic creations. Our initial target audience was middle school girls, but the project now engages both genders from elementary school through high school. Arts and Bots is a flexible program that can be adapted to many contexts and subjects in and out of school..
(Above statement borrowed from the Arts and Bots blog)
Please share any ideas you have about implementing this equipment. Ex: how it could be used in foreign language classes, etc.
Please note: the software will only work correctly with a Hummingbird microcontroller attached and turned on.
Curriculum is available on the Arts and Bots Blog. You can also contact Rob Ruddle for more information at ruddler@calsd.org. If emailing, please put "Techapalooza Arts and Bots" in the subject line.
