What is a Robot?• Dating back to ancient texts, humans have sought a mechanic or non-human
assistant to accomplish tasks that may be difficult, repetitive or unpleasant.• Starting with early Golems and predicted to artificial intelligence, the idea of
a non-living assistant has always been a part of humanities imagination.• The first robot was introduced onstage in 1921 in Prague, Czech Republic,
during a Karl Capek play entitled Rossum's Universal Robots. • Robots in your household:• Robots in industry:• Robots in this room:• Other terminology
– Autonomous– Self-directed

Robots in the classroom?• STEM curriculum
– Math – most advanced robots programming has a basis in mathematical reasoning.
– Science – generally identified within physical science (torque, movement is gears, levers, other simple machines), electricity, and more.
– Technology – the data storage involved in programming– Engineering – the design and problem solving portions
• Social studies– Look at the historical context– Science fiction (futurism)
• Language– Writing about their planning and discover– Creative writing

LEGO
• MSU & the College of Engineering do NOT host any sort of LEGO programs.
• Please contact Randall Hicks at Stennis for this. He is great.
• LEGO Robots can be used far beyond the competition cycle.
• Teachengineering.org is a great website with multiple applications.
