Outreach: Forming connections through robotics and literature
In a classroom full of eager students are several square grids and a scattering of 3D printed furniture sets.
Groups of students in grades 4-8 are focused on the challenge set before them: a hands-on robotics activity fused with storytelling and coding.
Professor Roger Hill and clinical professor Petros Panaou in the Mary Frances Early College of Education recently led a robotics workshop for elementary and middle grades students at Annunciation Day School in Atlanta, interweaving literature and Greek culture with the foundations of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
