June 2006: Teacher Training
Remember those dry, boring math and science classes? By training
teachers in how to use robotics in the classroom, the Robotics Academy
hopes to make these classes interesting and fun. Two teacher training
sessions will be held at NREC this summer:
| • |
LEGO/ROBOLAB Training, June 26-30. Features the
LEGO RCX platform.
|
| • |
Vex Training, August 7-11. Features the RadioShack Vex platform.
|
Each session includes hands-on exercises that show teachers how to teach basic applied math and science concepts using these robotics kits. For more information, visit www-education.rec.ri.cmu.edu.
