Engage-ineering: Robotics in the Science Classroom

Friday October 11, 2024 9:10am - 10:10am EDT

Capital

Robotics engages students in learning NGSS Engineering Design standards while also practicing foundational computer science concepts. Learn how 5th-grade students used LEGO SPIKE Prime kits to work through various design challenges in science class as they designed, tested, modified, and reflected on their solutions. In this hands-on, interactive session, students will lead participants through a mini design challenge of their own to model the possibilities this accessible tech affords.
