Why Robotics? What the students say

I loved working with Lego Robotics because we got to choose what we wanted to build and we are not told what to do. I liked the challenge of building and finding all the pieces. I liked being able to problem solve and use the I pad to go to the Lego website when my robot did not work exactly right. My brain was so excited to make all the connections. Programing the robot let me be creative . I selected sounds and movements and pushed the program button then I was excited to see how my key strokes make my creation work.

What is theRobotics Engineering Program of Studyat CHS and CSD?

(Very) short answer: Stealth Coding Training

Camas CodesTask for this slide: state presentation goal as a question in an engaging manner: replacing engineering with coding. Can sit on overhead waiting, if necessary. This connects previous presentations to this one this presentation is broader scope than robotics/engineering, earlier presented at least 3 board members have seen earlier version when presenting to PTAs last fall or CHS last winter.

A highly engaging first grade through twelfth grade project-based problem-solving curriculum supported by CCSS and NGSS, teaching all students that coding is fun and easy, and a necessary skill for a successful future.>We use Robotics to draw students in, because it is highly engaging, easy to teach, gives real-time feedback, and it utilizes project based learning easily integrated into CCSS and NGSS standards Everyone works in the digital environment, turning data into knowledge to solve problems or to create. Some folks create that digital environment everyone works in: programmers, analystsmodelers, graphics artists quants, engineers.Engineers work with people to solve problems to make life better for everyoneTwo tasks for this slide:

Coding is fun and easy for all in CTE lingo exploratoryInterested students may choose to continue with fundamentals preparatory

Two branches at the high school level:Creating the digital environment we all work in (programmers, analysts, modelers, quants, etc)Using the digital environment to transform data into knowledge to solve problems or to create. 4Coding

Everyone codes

Everyone converts data into information

Everyone abstracts, builds models and creates

Everyone interacts with the internet

Short Answer:: Coding another necessary skill in our kids future. Engineering Median Salary link Jobs with most growth in ten years linkJobs in USA link Use this slide to discuss content in hidden slide

Two inter-related tasks: 10% growth in jobs over next ten years. Decline in traditional computer jobs expected to do it yourself as a part of your job

The increase in computer workers category these are the folks who are writing and managing the work environment so that the above are taking care of their computer automation and entry tasks themselves, transforming their data into knowledge, muddle into understanding, nothing into something. 9Why do we have Camas Codes in CSD?

>A four/five day lesson plan, one hour per day for the student worksDay 1 build alligator Day 2 first program Day 3 build choice Day 4 showWEDO for 2nd grade, and EV3 for 5th grade work well

In-class, individualized coaching for the classroom teacher worksDay 1 apprehensive Day 2 doable Day 3 PBL Day 4 I can do this

The teachers major tasks are:Teach the student how to use the laptopsTeach the students how to use the tutorials for the builds and programmingKeep the materials separated by kitSolving individual part-placement and programming errors

Robotics is engaging, and once teachers get used to the materials, curriculum integration ideas abound.

A few parents in the room are very helpful, older students also very good

More Teacher Talk: Sample from Day 4 Tuesday

Target: I can use coding to program an EV3 robot to move forward, backward, and turn in a circle.Formative Assessment: At the end of the period, students will be able to demonstrate the learning target by following a simple tutorial to recreate a coding pattern for a combination straight forward, backward, and curved move then download that information to the EV3 robot. Probing Question of Differentiation on Design Task:Assessing Questions: What are you trying to do? Can you go back and find those instructions? What type of block do you need to ad next? What parameters do you need to adjust? What should you do next?Advancing Questions: What was the challenge for this design? What were your constraints? Did you meet the Learning Target? What problems did you encounter: How did you collaborate to solve those problems? What would you do differently?

>Is this ANOTHER thing on top of CCSS TPEP PLC ??Short answer: YesMedium-length Answer: The district is quietly putting a little money into examining a curriculum development process, and, the Project Based Learning curriculum delivery model . So, this is futures planning/thinking/experimenting utilizing a content skill our kids will need in their future careers. Long Answer: NO! just another trail of our path towards becoming a Learning Community, as are all of the initiatives and goals our district is helping us with.. All. 22Camas Codes
