Robotics Academy Outreach
Every spring semester the Robotics Academy runs an after school engineering education program that last for eight weeks. This after school program mirrors the actual Robotics Academy project, by addressing the same type of problem and solving it using the engineering design process. The course curriculum is designed by the child development majors on the team, but it is taught by all members of the team. This creates the opportunity for the children to actually see how real engineers think about problems. This also allows the engineers to become better communicators by building their abilities of breaking down and simplifying a problem. The Robotics Academy also teaches multiple shorter workshops in the fall semester that are run by the Center for Engineering Education Outreach. These workshops have two or three sessions lasting three or four hours each. The Robotics Academy helps teach these children advanced engineering concepts in fun situations while encouraging their creativity.

The Robotics Academy will work with the CEEO in bring the fundamentals of robotics engineering into the classroom to stimulate excitement for the field of engineering and robotics. |
