    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.

    STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach, blending four disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into one cohesive learning and teaching paradigm. STEM education focuses on real-world scenarios. A STEM classroom promotes integrated learning, investigation, and questioning. It places an emphasis on design and problem solving and blends the disciplines through research topics.

  • Other top priorities in the document are promoting depth over breadth in science education, ensuring greater coherence in learning across grade levels, and helping students understand the cross-cutting nature of crucial concepts, such as energy and matter, that span scientific disciplines
  • “First of all, it’s not just about what kids know; it’s about what they know and are able to do,” said Mr. McLaren, who also is the president of the Council of State Science Supervisors, an organization for science education officials. “It’s about using the practices of an engineer, a scientist, to gain a deeper understanding of the core knowledge.”
  • “One huge shift is moving away from covering everything, and instead doing what is essential and doing it very well,” she said.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The standards target four disciplines: the physical sciences; life sciences; earth and space sciences; and engineering, technology, and
  • Echoing the NRC framework, the standards document includes evolution as a core principle for understanding the life sciences. The draft is also explicit about the role humans play in climate change.
  • “Human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth’s mean surface temperature (‘global warming’).”
