Self- Contained, Shippable Outreach Experiments for Online Implementation in K-12 ClassroomsAbstractDue to COVID-19, more students are transitioning to online classrooms. This poses a problemfor STEM educators as students are limited in their ability to learn about the scientific process orscientific thinking through hands-on experimentation. Additionally, outreach programs that aredesigned to increase interest and participation in STEM face a challenge of not being able toenter the physical classroom for activities. To address these needs, a program was developed tocreate self-contained experimental kits that could be shipped to students’ homes. This allowsstudents to gain the same outreach experience that

The results show thatthe module was effective in (a) teaching students the fundamental principles of diffusion, (b)fostering peer-to-peer teaching and learning, and (c) emphasizing the importance of teamworkand problem-solving across disciplines. The results also indicate that students developed abroader view regarding the applicability of their knowledge beyond their own disciplinaryboundaries. Given its universality, this materials-focused teaching module has the potential toserve as an effective model to foster interdisciplinary teaching and learning between

unified multi-disciplinary curriculum. This paper describes one such program, a Master ofScience degree in Robotics Engineering (RBE) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).The M.S. program is a natural successor to the B.S. program in Robotics Engineering that wasintroduced in 20071,4. The B.S. offers what we believe to be excellent undergraduate educationin preparation for careers in robotics and related fields. However, there is a limited amount ofscientific and engineering material that one can cover in a 4-year degree while still providing therich undergraduate experience necessary to become a well-rounded citizen in today’s society.The RBE M.S. degree goes beyond the B.S. to prepare graduates for technical leadership roles inthe robotics
