TSA was chartered in 1978 and since then over 2,000,000 students have participated in its program. Members learn through challenging competitions, leadership activities and community service. Information is available at www.tsaweb.org. Mission The Technology Student Association fosters personal growth, leadership, and opportunities in technology, innovation, design, and engineering. Membership TSA provides rules and guidelines to its student members and advisors for 32 middle school level and 33 high school level competitive events. Program Initiatives Junior Solar Sprint – A national STEM based program empowering teachers, mentors and other community members to engage 4th – 8th grade youth in designing, building and racing model solar cars.
UNITE – A four to six week summer program, funded by the U.S. Engineer Your World. ROBOTICS. Robotics-National 4-H Curriculum. Using this curriculum, youth will: Build an understanding of basic science concepts related to roboticsApply the processes of scientific inquiry and engineering designBuild skills in science, engineering and technologyUse the tools of technology to enhance their learningExplore related careers in these fieldsApply the skills and knowledge they are developing to new challenges.
The 4-H Robotics Curriculum is comprised of three tracks; each is designed to meet the diverse requirements of 4-H clubs, after-school programs, individual youth and school enrichment activities. The curriculum was developed for all levels of expertise: from beginning to advanced. Download the 4-H Robotics Curriculum overview. Virtual Robotics 4-H. The Virtual Robotics track makes learning convenient and economical!
Participants will learn basic science and robotics concepts online through meaningful and engaging mediums including videos, simulations, animations and more. The Robotics Notebook for this track will be a real-world notebook in which students record their designs and respond to questions as they work and learn in the virtual environment. Welcome to the Virtual Robotics Test Drive. The test drive gives you a chance to control a virtual robot as it cruises around a petrochemical plant. This is just one of the fun experiences that is part of the Virtual Robotics program. START THE TEST DRIVEIt will take about a minute to download the program. Junk Drawer Robotics - 4-H. In each module of this track, youth will learn about a different aspect of robotics and design and build a robot using what they have learned.
This track emphasizes developing knowledge and developing skills as participating youth design and build their own robots. Youth will use their Robotics Notebook to record their learning experiences, robotic designs and the data from their investigations. The Junk Drawer Robotics curriculum has three books. In Book 1, Give Robots a Hand, you will explore the design and function of robotic arms, hands and grippers and build a robotic arm that really moves! In Book 2, Robots on the Move, you will design and build machines that roll, slide, draw or move underwater and explore robot mobility - movement, power transfer and locomotion.
Try the Sample Activity The Clipmobile Challenge is a sample activity taken from Module 1: Get Things Rolling of Book 2, Robots on the Move. Download the Clipmobile Challenge Junk Drawer Robotics Facilitator Resources. Robotics Platforms 4-H. The modules in this track can be used with a variety of commercial kits, including NXT, TETRIX, CEENBoT, and Vex.
This track has 3 levels and 11 modules. As participants experience each module in a level, they develop scientific knowledge and technological understanding that enables them to master the challenge presented at the culmination of that level. As they progress, the Robotics Notebook helps youth record their progress and serves as an important learning tool. Each level builds upon the prior level as youth develop a broader and deeper understanding of robotics. As you progress through Robotics Platforms, you will use your robotics kit to build a robot and learn about how it works in Level 1 (Modules 1-5). Order DVD Today!
