Introduction to Robotics in the Classroom Content Provider NASA’s Digital Learning Network (Ames Research Center) Contact Information Greg Pitzergregory.e.pitzer@nasa.govNASA Ames Research CenterMS 253-2Moffett Field, CA 94035United StatesPhone: (650) 604-3292 Program Type Individual Program Program Rating This program has not yet been evaluated. Target Audience Education: Grade(s): 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, K-12 Educator Primary Disciplines Career Education, Mathematics, Sciences, Technology/Information Science, Robotics Program Description NASA is constantly looking to advance robotics, to increase the capabilities of robots and prepare for future exploration missions. Discover how and why NASA uses robots? What skills do students need to learn robotics and have a future career with robotics? Program Format Introduction Discussion about the definition of Robotics How NASA uses robots Activiity and discussion on how to give accurate directions. Components of a robot How robots are designed and tested. Questions and Answer session. Objectives The student will be know appropriate vocabulary for giving directions.The student will understand how to give accurate instructions using scientific vocabulary.The student will understand how NASA is developing robots and how NASA is currently usng robots to collect data. National Standards to which this program aligns ISTE Technology Standards: Technology problem-solving and decision-making tools Students will explore how robotics "make decisions" and are incorporating artificial intelligence. ITEA Technology Standards: Role of society in the development and use of technology Students will explore the role of robotics and its place in society, how robotics has changed our current means of living. NSTA Science Standards: Science and Technology Students will explore how using robotics can increase knowledge in science and make further exploration possible. Earth and Space Science The role in space exploration and examining our earth is increasing being accomplished using robotics, students will learn about several examples of how this is occurring. Science in personal and social perspective NCTM Mathematics Standards: Specify locations and describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and other representational systems Students will be challenged to give precise directions by describing a geometric figure to their partner. The figure will incorporate a variety of geometric forms and the great knowledge of geometry will increase the ability to give a quality description.
