, we plan to strengthenteacher preparation through our work with the districts and emphasize the use of Arts & Bots asa talent identification and cultivation tool. As part of this emphasis, we will be expanding on theexisting Arts & Bots kit and materials with new components which will be specifically designedfor the cultivation of student talents.One such component we are developing is an expanded resource library of enrichment activitiesfor teachers implementing Arts & Bots. This library is specifically aimed at providing teacherswith activities with which they can tailor their Arts & Bots activities for the talents and interestsof students in their classes. For instance, we are creating an online tutorial targeted at

an aesthetic component by decorating their robots. Again, in the first year,two groups collaborated to teach their robots to “sing” a duet in two-part harmony, which wasnot a design requirement, but the group members found the exercise to be an interestingchallenge. These groups consisted of two pairs of twins, which were separated into differentgroups.Group strategies for meeting design specifications have been strikingly different. Some groupsprefer to just start putting parts together and writing code, refining as they go, and other groupsdo significant planning before beginning to build any hardware. The interesting thing is thatboth approaches are generally successful.After the first day, it is difficult to get the students to leave at

Although theinitial center is up-and-running, plans have been made for a larger 40,000 square foot stand-alonefacility to further develop the next generation of innovators. The IC will support K-12 studentsas innovative risk-takers who are internally motivated to strike out on their own as their careersunfold. This effort will be disseminated as a a starting road-map for school districts that have adesire to expand K-12 engineering out of the classroom and into the community.Table 1: STEM Academy Attitude Survey Results, Fall 2013

You must speak, but you can decide whether or not to use slides (and if so, how many). You can perform a skit or a monologue, you can dress up, you can do a demo…whatever you think will aid in getting your message across in 180 seconds. I only ask two things – 1.) if you use slides, please send them to me the night prior so I can incorporate them into our class presentation, and 2.) if you plan to use fire or other potentially dangerous demonstrations, let me know so we can make a plan for safety.
