Junk Drawer Robotics
The Junk Drawer Robotics curriculum engages middle school youth (ages 10-13) in understanding scientific concepts and processes, the engineering design process cycle, and technology creation and building. Junk Drawer Robotics provides youth these experiences by working with household items to complete simple design challenges. These robotics activities emphasize science, engineering and technology process skills, cross-age instruction (teenagers-as-teachers), the experiential learning cycle, and small group learning. Activities are designed to be led by an adult or teen facilitator.
Hope to see you there! Judy
