| Educators:
This online interactive NASA Robotics Education Project event for
kids provides educators with creative ways to address some educational
standards for grades 5-8. Easy and free, this online course will
walk students through the step-by-step creation of a basic robot.
During the 45-minute robot construction session, the hosts will
address basic principles of physics (mass, force, heat flow, etc.)
and the approach to understanding and implementing technical design. The
remaining 15 minutes will be used to field questions through the chat
room.
Involve your students in current NASA projects while teaching
National Education Standards - without leaving your computer chair!
The goal is to introduce students to real-time applications of
their in-class work in the hope that they'll be inspired to consider
science and engineering as career possibilities. This event will
be live, and students may ask questions through an online chatroom.

Why participate? Robot Cooking will:
- Address specified National and California Educational Standards
- Use current NASA projects to illustrate basic physics and engineering
concepts (including gears, motors, structure and design, transfer of
energy)
- Provide educators with a convenient e-learning environment
- Explain how to make a basic robot using everyday household items
- Walk students through the completion of the basic robot structure
- Students learn by doing.
- Utilize a chatroom to enable a live question-answer session
- Have a "Hotbot" hotline to take your live questions over-air
