Back on Dec 12, 2023, I participated in a webinar sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) entitled Re-Envisioning Robotics in Precollege Engineering Education<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the description of the talk:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/td>Join us for a free webinar on December 12, 2023 at 2:00 PM, ET<\/strong>\u00a0that will share findings from a collective partnership between e4usa and\u00a0FIRST Robotics Competitions that works to engage more pre-college students and teachers in STEM robotics programs<\/strong>. \u00a0 \"Rectangle: e4usa is a national initiative designed to demystify engineering and democratize engineering education \u201cfor all.” The program supports teachers and students using an accessible and engaging project-based learning (PBL) approach<\/strong>. The PBL approach provides students with a hands-on experience in engineering, which prepares them for engagement in FIRST Robotics Competitions and future STEM careers.

Working together with a cohort of teachers from across the country has allowed the research team to identify barriers to participation, while developing novel strategies to overcome these challenges. This includes a set of emergent blended e4usa-FIRST models and the launch of a new open source engineering education platform called the Experiential Robotics Platform.\u00a0 This session will share the team\u2019s findings to date and provide available techniques and resources to support more pre-college students and teachers with access to STEM robotics programs<\/strong>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was presented by Adam Carberry (Ohio State University) and David Rogers (DEKA Research). If you are not familiar with DEKA, it is a company founded by Dean Kamen, who also is the founder of FIRST robotics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the meeting all the materials were shared (and now I share them with you):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
