The STS Program will send student volunteers to a scrimmage during the final days of the build period hosted by Phelps A.C.E. Developed by Claire Robbins in 2009 and now taught by Matt Aruch, CPSP249T students have benefited from the dedication of these graduate students in the School of Education. Students in Scholars are encouraged to earn credit for service students registered in CPSP249T can support after school robotics clubs at Greenbelt E.S. The Science, Technology & Society ( STS) program of College Park Scholars hosted the event (first hosted in January 2012) in the Cambridge Community Center.
The three NI instructors included Nishantha Fernando, academic field sales engineer for the mid-Atlantic region.
National Instruments supported this event by staffing a programming workshop in LabVIEW, using several robot-scale teaching breadboards that provide hands on experience. Student volunteers from MASE (Mentors Advancing STEM Education) included Nitay Ravin (EE) and Dan Villalobos (Physics). At Saturday's event, mentors included computer scientists, IT professionals, the STEM program specialist from APL - Denise Lewis, engineers, an electrician, retirees from STEM careers, and dedicated home school parents. Please see photos from the January 2013 and photos from the January 2012 campus robotics events.Īdult and college student mentors support the teens as they build and program their robots. FIRST was begun by inventor Dean Kamen to attract and retain students to STEM education and careers more than 50,000 students on 2,500 teams will participate internationally in 2013. The FIRST season for 2013's FRC challenge, " Ultimate Ascent," started on January 5 and culminates on February 19, 2013. They are all associated with For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology ( FIRST) as members of FIRST Robotics Challenge ( FRC) teams. On Saturday, January 12, 2013, students from 8 high schools gathered on campus to build and learn to program their competition robots. This is truly a great opportunity for females to gain more insight in the technology world, and is a unique learning experience that can take you very far in the future.Students participate in the FIRST robotics workshop on campus, January 12, 2013. Girls Get IT is hosting an event on Thursday, November 7th, 2013. Our CAD and Inventor lessons that we will soon begin will be great opportunities to learn- it’s something that we’ve never done before! (All of our past CADders are self-taught) By learning CAD, members will be able to make incredible contributions to the team, as well as use this greatly valued skill in the future.Īt our final home game (11/1), we will be selling jewelry, shooting the Frisbee Bot, and most importantly, shooting the T-shirt bot!! We are very excited to have this opportunity! This is now our 6th week volunteering at the middle school! The experience is incredible, and we couldn’t be any luckier to have this opportunity. After the completion of this process, the bot will be ready to go! These lessons are a great opportunity for our members to get great insight in programming!Īll that is left before final completion is the powder-coating of the bot. Meetings will continue to be on Thursdays, where members will learn both text-based Java and Labview.
