Description

You have robots in the library, now what? Within our makerspaces, robots provide opportunities for learners to tinker and make. What if they can be used to impact learning in ways that provide curricular relevance? Join three librarians as they demonstrate how various robots- Edison, Bee-bot, Dash and Sphero, can be used to enhance math, science and ELA in grades K-6. Attendees gain tips and lesson ideas and will enjoy hands-on experience in coding and uploading their own programs to the robots.

Learning Objectives:

• At the end of this session, learners will be able to use robots to structure activities that develop literacy and computational thinking.
• At the end of this session, learners will be able to apply strategies for using robots to enhance curriculum and impact learning.
