Introduction Robots are important tools to accomplish tasks that humans are unable or unwilling to do
Robots are not scary or inaccessible Engineering is essential to maintaining
and developing our way of life Requires teamwork, problem solving
skills, and effort Engineering is a rewarding endeavor

FALL 2008 Goals
Compete in FLL competition Introduction to engineering
High degree of engagement at the start Many students lost interest
![Page 4: Robotics Module Jose Lopez and Kevin Derendorf GK-12 Fellows Barry Williams Instructor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e1a5503460f94b0711d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Spring 2009 Goals
Maintain interest with entrepreneurship theme Introduction to engineering
Each class formed 3 startup companies that
produce water-filter robots Each company had 3 job categories: marketers,
managers, engineers High degree of engagement throughout semester Some students still lost interest Lots of copying

Activity 1: Pre-assessment Questions
What do engineers do?
What are some of the types of engineers? What is a robot? What are robots used for?
![Page 16: Robotics Module Jose Lopez and Kevin Derendorf GK-12 Fellows Barry Williams Instructor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e1a5503460f94b0711d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Activity 3: Water Filtration Activity
Grade level: 6-12
Time required: 12 1-hour class periods Group size: 3 Expendable cost per group: $260 Students design, construct, and program a
robot to fulfill an assigned mission, in this
case a “water filter”
![Page 18: Robotics Module Jose Lopez and Kevin Derendorf GK-12 Fellows Barry Williams Instructor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e1a5503460f94b0711d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Activity 3: Motivation Contaminated water is a major problem worldwide
In certain countries, people travel dozens
of miles on foot through dangerous terrain
to obtain clean water
Solution: Robots!
