Arts & Bots: Techniques for distributing a STEAM robotics program through K-12 classrooms

Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC '13), March, 2013

Abstract

Arts & Bots is a craft-based robotics program focused on expression and creativity in the service of improving K-12 student technological fluency. In this paper, we describe how we transitioned Arts & Bots from an out-of-school program to a successful classroom tool applicable to many school subjects. We focus specifically on partnerships with teachers and professional development strategies.
