Dear Bloggers,

In 2016,  National Science Week will embrace the ‘Technology’ in STEM, in particular autonomous technology, with school theme Drones, Droids and Robots.

The theme will centre on the real-world application of autonomous technologies in areas including agriculture, mining, manufacturing, medicine and space and deep ocean exploration. It will look at how this technology has transformed our day-to-day lives – from robot vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers to automated pool cleaners.

The National Science e-book  Drones, Droids and Robots is very informative and great to read.

It includes snapshots of what is happening in robotics in the classroom. Pages 80-82 showcase what is happening at Gordon East Public School.

 

Thanks for calling by
