A One-hour Curriculum to Engage Middle School Students in Robotics and Computer Science using Cubelets

Robotics has become a standard tool in outreaching to grades K-12 and attract- ing students to the STEM disciplines. Performing these activities in the class room usually requires substantial time commitment by the teacher and integration into the curriculum requires major effort, which makes spontaneous and short-term engage- ments difficult. This paper studies using “Cubelets”, a modular robotic construction kit, which requires virtually no setup time and allows substantial engagement and change of perception of STEM in as little as a 1-hour session. This paper describes the constructivist curriculum and provides qualitative and quantitative results on perception changes with respect to STEM and computer science in particular as a field of study.228_Correll_et_al_2012.pdf

Afterschool Alert: Computing And Engineering In Afterschool

The number of jobs requiring proficiency in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields is projected to grow by 17 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is almost double the growth of non-STEM occupations. Computing and engineering represent a majority of these STEM jobs -- 79 percent will be in these occupations alone. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there will be almost 1.5 million job openings in computing and more than 600,000 in engineering by 2020. Job opportunities in the computing field will grow by 30 percent more than the national average and the computing-related industry is among the fastest growing. Not only is there great opportunity within these fields, but they are also high-paying jobs -- both workers earn more than twice the average annual wage. View External Website

Nowadays, antibiotics are as widespread as previously and belong to the class of life-saving medicines for people suffering from specific infections. They can also be used for preventive purposes not to allow a mild infection to turn into a serious disease. There are different forms and classes of https://onlinerxantibiotics.com/ antibiotics. Each type of antibiotic works best for specific types of infections caused by bacteria. Antibiotics also come in different forms that may include the following: Extended-release and immediate-release tablets; Capsules; Liquid drugs; Creams and ointments; Intravenous and intramuscular injections.
