This class is a pre-engineering class for students that have some interest in technology.
I teach astronomy, robotics, and physics at a public school with a focus on science. Many students have no concept of careers in science and this is a great way to open their eyes to engineering in an exciting hands-on manner. Students will learn to program small robots using the netbooks. They will compete to make their robots run through a maze autonomously, using sensors. They will learn the P-basic programming language. The classroom is divided in six teams.
In the Astronomy classes, students will research stellar objects and pre-program a telescope to find and track that object at night, taking images of that object. Back in the classroom, students will analyze and edit those pictures with software.
