What Teachers are Saying:
“It has been more than 15 years since I graduated college. Since that time I have drifted away from learning new things, until this course. I am renewed as far as technology is concerned. Thank you.”
- Robotics Teacher
“This course made me think differently about numbers and helped me better understand how children feel as they are learning these concepts for the first time.”
-Elementary Math Teacher
Robotics
A partnership between IU1 Center for STEM Education, The National Robotics Engineering Consortium at Carnegie Mellon University and California University of Pennsylvania.
High School Robotics Engineering – Agile Robotics
Agile Robotics is a 500 billion dollar immerging industry that consists of intelligent, often mobile devices, vehicles, and machines that reduce the need for human attention in repetitive, dangerous, and inaccessible places.
VEX Robots are used to introduce computer programming, electronics or technology education.

Middle School Robotics Engineering – NXT Robotics
Students focus on pre-engineering processes and the integration of math and science principles as they design and program Lego NXT robots. Now in its 5th year, the program features:
- Robotics pre-engineering curriculum
- Professional development for teachers
- Materials Support
- Technical support to teachers
- Robotics summer camps for students
