STEM education by exploring robotics

Abstract

The chapter on 'STEM Education by Exploring Robotics (SEEbots)' describes a wide range of educational robotics modules for increasing STEM learning at pre-college level and at the college level. The recent advances in electronics technology and computer technology are making a variety of novel and versatile robotics modules within the budget of educational institutions for creating interest among the students toward STEM learning, and to broaden participation of students seeking STEM careers. The suggested robotics modules are based on the experiences gained in teaching robotics for STEM education to middle school level to college level, through projects sponsored by funding agencies. The information described is intended for educators as a reference guide to designing their robotics courses for STEM learning in secondary or post-secondary introductory robotics educational program.
