Kathleen Lemmons

Lemmons' "Robot Revolution Coming Our Way" project promotes practical uses of math and science as students design, build, and program their own "Lego" robots. With an emphasis on teamwork, students build and program robot models, then modify the robots after putting them through a battery of tests. Students then design an informational brochure about their design. This project helps students develop an understanding of force and motion, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving. It also gives them a hands-on introduction to science and the opportunity to practice writing skills in a fun and creative environment.
