a one-unit Research Methodscourse in either Physical or Biological Sciences. The goal of this initial tier is the development ofneeded research skills, including soft skills, such as working in a team, communicating within agroup, how to problem solve using critical thinking, and what it takes to be a professionalscientist. During these course-based instruction experiences, students will also be introduced toSTEM specific skills needed in chemistry, biology, physics or biology projects. This training inboth soft and hard skills using a more active learning approach increases excitement for science,promotes scientific literacy and prepares students for the rigor inherent in the STEM academicpathway.Over the past five years, students at PCC

robotic kits.The robotic artifacts created by the students also help them present their work in front of a widebody of their peers in a confident and authoritative manner. Finally, this example shows that it ispossible to implement a competition-based learning approach within formal educational settingssuccessfully and provides guidelines for mitigating major pitfalls.The second case study provides an example of project-based approach towards integratingeducational robots in K-12 classrooms, where the robot was used to foster the development ofessential soft skills in the students. The robot provided cognitive mediation for students tounderstand mathematical concepts such as proportionality and rate of change through a geometryactivity. During

This not only trains for improved attendance, but we assume it alsosuggests that students are more motivated to come to school because they are enjoying theirlearning. Attendance Rates 100% 80
