Presented by: Mason Lewis Dan Koch Skynet In The Classroom: How Using STEM Robots Can Expand Standards Based Instruction Presented by: Mason Lewis Dan Koch

Children of the 80’s and 90’s will remember

“These robots are so cool, but how is it helping students be successful in my content area?” What are these robots? Ozobot Makey Makey Sphero Little Bits

Three Learning Objectives 1) Teachers can use robots and robotic devices to teach assigned state standards 2) Teachers can use devices in ways they weren’t designed so students learn standards 3) Teachers will understand how tying these robots to standards instruction eases the purchasing abilities

Ozobot Small smart line following robot Uses sensors to interpret information drawn on paper Introduces linear thinking and cause/effect to students

Ozobot in Action Students learn how computers are programmed Ozobot reacts to what the user draws on the paper User can also program the Ozobot through proprietary software - Ozoblockly

Sphero Bluetooth controlled device that allows the user to manipulate it in real time Also can be programmed in proprietary app to complete tasks

Sphero in Action Students learn more in depth programming by having the robot have more interactions and complete more tasks in its surrounding envrionment

Makey Makey Device that turns everyday objects into touchpads Can be utilized with a computer in supplement the use of specific keys

Makey Makey in Action

little Bits little Bits are electronic building blocks Each Bit has its own unique job/function Bits snap together with magnets No soldering, wiring, or programming

Standards Based Ozobot 24 Hours of Ozobot Students found the speed of the Ozobot as it traveled around a mock Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona Circuit Students found distance Ozobot travelled and divided it by the time it took the Ozobot to find the speed it was travelling Can be converted from cm/second to km/hour

Standards Based Sphero Students use a device with a Sphero to knock over objects of different mass Students must figure out at what amount of energy is required to knock the object over

Ramming Speed Mr. Sphero Video goes here

Standards Based Makey Makey Students used Makey Makey to identify different objects around the classroom that were conductive Students made a T-Chart of the objects-Conductive vs Nonconductive Students then compare and contrasted the different objects and inferred what made something conductive

Makey Makey Making Noise Video of students using Makey Makey Conductivity Lab goes here

Standards Based little Bits Students constructed an apparatus that created sound or light Then used apparatus to demonstrate wave properties Also created an apparatus that demonstrates how energy is converted to chemical to other forms of energy
