There was an upward trend in the low interest students’ interest incareers in STEM fields. The only question that was not significant is “I plan to use technology inmy future career” with a p-value of 0.057. The same

well as the barriers theyperceive to doing so. Results indicated that most elementary teachers support the inclusion ofengineering within the science standards for elementary grades. Teachers describe lack ofpreservice and in-service training, lack of background knowledge, lack of materials, lack of timefor planning and implementing lessons, and lack of administrative support as barriers toimplementing engineering activities within their classrooms.*The views and opinions of the speaker expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect thoseof the U.S. Government or any agency thereof.Introduction The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) incorporated engineering practices intoK-12 science standards [1], and because NGSS calls for

. collaborated on thedevelopment of a software package based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) to facilitateseamless communication and transfer of location information between robots. To effectively setupa distributed network (see Figure 7) and enable information transfer between the robots, they hadto understand the concept of custom messages in ROS. Later, using fiducial marker-based tracking,they extracted localization information and constructed a custom message that is transferred topeer robots. The project further involved reflecting the localization information of the robots intoan iPad app for user interaction.4.6.
