Teacher Workshops:
We provide on-site teacher workshops for robotics. These one or two day courses
are for up to 16 teachers and include the following:

Possible workshops:
Introduction to RoboLab Investigator:
One day course that introduces how to use the data-collecting abilities of the
MindStorm RCX and the software for use in Science studies. Use of temperature,
light, and rotational sensors are demonstrated to give teachers the ability to use this
powerful tool within the classroom and school environment for data-collection.
Previous experience with MindStorms and RoboLab is required.
Introduction to the LEGO Robotics and RoboLab Software: One day course
including hands-on building and programming for teachers of grades 3-8.
Participants will build working robots by the end of the day and have programmed
them using the software to perform simple to moderate missions.
Advanced Porgramming in RoboLab:
This one day course (or two day if coupled with the Intro course) provides more in
depth training and lab work with more advanced programming concepts. These
concepts include using loops, conditional statements, setting up variables, and
building more complex programs for the robots. In general it is also a chance to
build or refine robots previously build by participants.
FIRST LEGO League Support Services:
In the past these services have been subsidized by support from a National Science
Foundation grant. At this time that support is no longer available and Maine
Robotics provides this service on a fee-for-service basis.
Getting a team started:
We come to your school or location (some restrictions with regard to travel may
apply) meet with your team, make sure they are comfortable with both the equipment
and the programming. Work with the coach/teacher during the visit and make sure
they know what their goals for the season are (to have fun, get the kids to have fun,
and learn a lot!).
Cost: $500 for up to a 6 hour on-site program
