The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 6 hour workshop at Glenn Research Center .


Visit NASA Glenn Research Center to explore NASA real world robotics and coding. Multiple NASA STEM Engagement strategies and resources will be presented to help educators teach Force and Motion.  The workshop will include several "acting out science" kinesthetic (PBL) problem based learning activities. Participants will code the Sphero ( a small spherical robot) to solve the engineering and math problem of flying in formation.
