K-12 Outreach Programs in Robotics
This is the home page for educational opportunities for teachers and
children hosted by the UMass Lowell Computer Science department.
UML offers several K-12 outreach programs in robotics:
We invite teachers participate in our
Botfest and Botball programs:
- BotFest is an exhibition and fair
that's open to robotics, technology, and art enthusiasts of all ages.
We also hold a set of workshops to help teachers introduce robotics
materials to their classrooms in a non-competitive way. Botfest is
open to anyone who can come and exhibit on our Lowell, MA campus.
Please click here for more info on Botfest.
- Botball is a national robotics competition for middle
and high schools. We are the regional New England organizers! More
info on Botball can be found on the Botball
national website.
Tutorials for Botball and Botfest will be held on Friday and Saturday,
January 25 and 26, 2008 at UMass Lowell (Botfest will be Saturday only).
The Botfest exhibition and Botball competition will be held at UMass
Lowell on April 5, 2008.
We will hold a half-day workshop on Saturday, October 20, 2007 from 10:00 am
to 1 pm on the 3rd Floor of Olsen Hall, North Campus, UMass Lowell.
You can find a flyer for the event here.
