Experimenting with Robotics Leads to Further Understanding of Science, Mathematics, and Technology

机器人实验有助于进一步理解科学、数学和技术是一项为期两年的项目，来自纽约市公立和非公立学校的200名小学和初中科学和计算机教师将学习基于微处理器和电路的科学基本原理。具有逻辑运算和计算机控制。在8个星期六的工作坊中，老师们将建造和使用电路、电磁铁和晶体管。标志程序将控制开关，开关将反过来控制每个参与者将构建的机器人。教师将参加每月的后续会议，并在课堂上得到项目工作人员和志愿者科学家的支持。制作的材料将包括一份手册和一盘记录改进工作的录像带。这项合作包括纽约市立大学研究生院高等教育研究中心和大学中心、未来学校研究所（PI是主席）、纽约社区学区教育委员会、美国物理学会成员、纽约大学科朗数学科学研究所机器人研究实验室成员、纽约州教育部学习技术中心成员。通过综合的科技教学方法，参与者将增加对各种概念的理解，有更多的教学时间，并能够为学生提供更深入的指导。

Experimenting with Robotics Leads to Further Understanding of Science, Mathematics, and Technology is a two year project for 200 elementary and junior high school science and computer teachers from New York City public and non-public schools to integrate the learning of fundamental principles in science underlying the microprocessor and electric circuits, with logical operations and computer control. In eight Saturday workshops teachers will build and use circuits, electromagnets, and transistors. Logo programs will control switches which will in turn control the robot each participant will build. Teachers will attend monthly follow-up meetings and be supported in the classroom by the project staff and volunteer scientists. Materials produced will include a manual and a videotape which document the enhancement. This collaborative effort involves The Center for Advanced Study in Education/CASE of the Graduate School and University Center, CUNY, The Institute for Schools of the Future (The PI is President), New York Community School Districts Board of Education, scientists who are members of the American Physical Society and the Robotics Research Laboratory of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, and the Center for Learning Technologies, New York State Department of Education. Through an integrated approach to teaching science and technology, participants will increase their understanding of various concepts, have more time for teaching, and be able to provide students with more in depth instruction.
