    Use art supplies, a circuit board, lights, motors and sensors to design, build and program robots that tell stories and express emotions. Robot Diaries development began in the summer of 2006 in a series of participatory design workshops with middle school girls. We set out to find a way to keep middle school girls engaged with robotics and authoring technology - at an age when many girls get away from such activities - perceiving them as activities for boys. The program has since developed to include both boys and girls - drawing upon students' interests in arts, crafts, communication, and storytelling while providing them with technical and design knowledge which enables them to build and utilize their own personal robots. Robot Diaries is currently in various stages of implementation in middle and elementary schools, kindergartens and after school programs.

  • Creativity is the secret sauce to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
  • It is a STEM virtue.

  • Creativity is really the art of metaphor.
  • Metaphors create a linkage between two dissimilar ideas and are useful in the sciences because they allow information to be attained by connecting the unknown with the known.2 And this is the key element to scientific creativity.
  • the skills of the 21st century need us to create scholars that can link the unlinkable. These scholars must be willing to try many combinations before finding the right answer. They must be comfortable with concepts that they can play with in new ways. We want smart-thinking creative people.
