Society of Manufacturing Engineers Student Robotics Challenge Students are judged on their application of manufacturing principles and concepts and their ability to solve manufacturing-related problems through a team approach. Learning from Satellites Lesson plans and resources involving satellites. Teams learn how the mathematics and science concepts they are learning in high school are applied to real-world problems. They are using sensitive satellites in space, miniature transmitters on birds, and rapid email communications to investigate the travels of these animals on the open ocean. In this science project, middle school and high school students gather and share data to compare the water quality of a local river, stream, lake or pond with other fresh water sources around the world.
Projects run in Fall and Spring.
Students and teachers from over 8500 schools in over 85 countries are working with research scientists to learn more about our planet. The international RoboCup competition entails the construction of fully autonomous, fast moving robots, which work together as a team to compete against similar teams of robots in a robotic soccer match. After receiving thousands of letters from children who were excited by his discovery, Dr. Ballard and a team of associates dedicated themselves to developing ways that would enable teachers and students all over the world to take part in global explorations using advanced interactive telecommunications. There are many good sites. That's the glory and the challenge of the Internet.
