FLATE offers several professional development opportunities
that are designed to strengthen teachers’ skills and provide them with
educational resources for their students. This summer, FLATE is offering
hands-on training workshops for middle and high school teachers. These
workshops will cover Lego EV3 processors, functional robot building
instructions, programming with EV3 software, programming with EV3 sensors and
logic, and NAO robot programming demonstrations. All workshops are free
of charge.
The first workshop for teachers was hosted on May 31 and was
an introductory lesson in Lego Robotics. The next teachers workshops will be on
July 13 (Intro to Lego Robotics), and July 14 (Intermediate Lego Robotics). All
workshops will run from 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. and will be hosted at Hillsborough
Community College Brandon Campus in room BSSB 218. Teachers located in
Hillsborough County may register for the workshops on the district website, and
teachers outside of Hillsborough County please contact Dr. Marilyn Barger to
register.
Additionally, FLATE will be hosting FANUC Robot Training for
teachers on June 15 and 16 at Central Florida College. This workshop is also
hands-on and will provide basic training, specifically with FANUC industrial
robots. This is a great opportunity for
teachers that have these robots in their schools to learn more about these
amazing tools and how to use them in their classrooms. Teachers will also learn about local
resources and network with others that have this equipment.
If you are interested in participating or would like more
information on the Lego Mindstorms Teacher Workshops or FANUC Robot Training,
