Activity: Torrence Test Creative Thinking What can you teach with a brick?

What Could You Teach With a Robot? 1: Robo Math5: Robo Electric 2: Robo Physics4: Robo Chem 3: Robotics

Collaborations? Some of our NSF-related needs: 1)Data related to impact (pre-post tests) 2)Control group data (pre-post tests) 3)Teachers to try out lessons with students 4)Teachers to help write curriculum 5)Teachers to help write assessments 6)Other ideas?
