After School Program Proposal 2014 Why should you consider hosting a Robot U® LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robotic program?

Robot U is a “for profit” after school enrichment class focused on providing a solid understanding of programming and engineering through the use of the LEGO® Group’s educational robot making product MINDSTORMS® and its supporting lesson plans that were developed with the help of Carnegie Mellon University. Its primary focus is on 4th through 8th grade students interested in the more advanced programming and engineering capabilities of LEGO® robotics, not the students interested in free play.

Our classes use one new competition level set (the EV3 education plus expansion set) and a tablet pc for every two students. This is very generous by industry standards. Most programs will have four or more students using an older NXT set and a laptop. Our investment is north of $1,300 per pair of students, far more than any other program. We offer this level of investment so the students will have the optimum level of exposure to the sets (the same sets they will probably be using in competition) while they learn to work as part of a two person team.

Another reason that may interest you is that Robot U also actively seeks out to hire qualified mentors that are excellent students and members of the local area’s high school, college, and amateur robotic clubs along with retired engineers, when available. The students naturally gravitate to the student teachers and try to emulate them. This is a win for the students and a win for the teachers.

The Goals and Objectives of Robot U are; 1. To be a sought out established S.T.E.M. program that

offers its students a superior path to success through rudimentary programming and engineering training.

2. To Adopt and teach FIRST® core values of Gracious Professionalism®, Coopertition®, and Creativity.

3. To provide networking opportunities with higher education, businesses, and mentors.

4. To be a program where the students have both fun and a sense of achievement and mastery from being challenged.

5. To benefit its high school student staff with an educational mentor activity to add to their college applications.

Robot U’s Philosophy Robot U’s philosophy is to tirelessly redefine and improve the after school experience for students through the teaching of STEM skills with robotics and programming. To offer parents a worthy enrichment program for their financial investment and their child’s time that both expands their students grasp and develops their sense of confidence in science, technology, engineering, and math while learning the cooperation and team building skills that will serve them well in to the future and put them on the path to higher learning and success. All while having a great deal of fun.

After School Program Proposal 2014 Class descriptions

Primary Offering Robot U provides a curriculum of classroom instruction and open-ended, problem-solving activities that make learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through real-life robotics engaging and fun for students.

Tailored to children from grades 4th through 8th and built around the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® educational robot system. Our program will teach the students to master their robotic engineering and programming skills. The students will begin with an introductory 10 week session. The classes are structured; Lesson (or two); duplicate; modify and explore; and share and explain (with a competition thrown in here and there). The students are encouraged to share and seek each other’s input instead of going it alone and keeping what they have figured out to themselves. After the students have graduated from the first session they may sign up continually and learn even more, but they will be asked to be open to helping the new students. This creates an environment where students start to develop leadership skills and the newer students have a more tangible understanding of what they can achieve. The more experienced students will also have the opportunity to be self-directed.

Session 1 Make It Move: Students are challenged to design, build, and program robots that move using motors with rotation sensors. Students will apply mathematics and their science knowledge to create robots that measure distance and speed, move without using wheels, maximize power to move up an incline or travel faster, and move and turn to create regular polygons. Students will also apply their knowledge of simple and complex machines and the use of ratios to describe proportional relationships. Session 2 Make It Smarter: Students are challenged to experiment with more sensors on their robots to control behavior and to measure, graph, and analyze sensor data. Students will develop robots that use

sensors that measure ambient and reflected light, distinguish between specific colors, measure distances from objects, recognize a touch-sensor state (pressed or not pressed, or pressed and released), and measure angular displacement or rate of change. Session 3 Make a System: Students are challenged to design, build, and program robotics systems built from subsystems. Students develop systems that move a ball, pick and place objects, simulate manufacturing, sort colors, and communicate their location. Students test their system, gather data, and use that evidence to engineer system optimizations and improvements. Session 4 Take it to the Next Level: Is designed to enable students to take their experience of robotics to the next level. Students may sign up as many times as they wish because this where they are challenging themselves to learn more. Students will build larger and more complex models and do more research. If they are active in robotic competitions this is where they will have an opportunity to work on their own special problems and use the resources of the class including other students and the instructors. Other Classes and Camps The “Locomotion Commotion” Class During a full day or an hour a day for one week the students work in groups building complex robots and if time permits learning a little about the programming that runs them. This is a very popular program with the students because by the end of class they have created something pretty cool to show off. “Me & You” Workshops Host a workshop where fathers/mothers can work side by side with their children to create various models or compete in a challenge, such as sumo, maze, or hide n seek. This is an excellent opportunity to engage with other families through mutual likes.

After School Program Proposal 2014 WeDo® Junior Robotics The LEGO® Education WeDo® Construction Set is an easy-to-use set that introduces young students to robotics. Students will be able to build LEGO® models featuring working motors and sensors; program their models; and explore a series of cross-curricular, theme-based activities while developing their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as language, literacy, and social studies.

This is a great class to introduce students to these concepts and plant the seed for future interests in engineering and programming. There are many similarities between this graphical interface and the significantly more advanced MINDSTORMS® interface that we use in the advance robotic classes. The sets use motors, sensors, and a computer to program them just like MINDSTORMS®.

The drag-and-drop software powered by LabVIEW™, is icon based, provides an intuitive programming environment. Activities are divided into four themes

• Amazing Mechanisms • Wild Animals • Play Soccer • Adventure Stories

Scratch Game Creation Using our tablet pc’s students learn to program and create different games using MIT’s very popular graphical programming program, Scratch.

The classes are designed to explore;

1. Computational thinking concepts (sequence, loops, parallelism, events, conditionals, operators, data)

2. Practices (working iteratively and incrementally, testing and debugging, reusing and remixing, abstracting and modularizing)

3. And perspectives (expressing, connecting, questioning).

Using a simple drag and drop interface students will quickly learn to create unique projects that they can share at home with friends and family. As they get more comfortable with the concepts most quickly start to experiment and discover that programming is really fun.

Future Classes in the “Forge”

Sketchbook An art class that uses the popular and hugely versatile natural drawing program “Sketchbook” is under review. The owner, being a trained graphic designer, sees the incredible power that using this program with our tablets that use a pressure sensitive stylus could help aspiring artist make huge leaps creatively.

“Gearl’s” Only A course is under consideration for promoting more participation from young women who are interested, but fear that they would be the only girl in the class. This is usually not the case, but they do tend to be the minority. If this sounds like something that your school would benefit from please contact us so we can get this underway.

If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.

Cat. No. 10231X Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)
