Summer 2012 Workshops for Students
Co-Ed Robotics
These full-day sessions will run from 9 to 3 on Monday through Friday and cost
$500. This session will help students design, build, and program using
the engineering design process. Several open-ended challenges will be
posed to the students throughout the week. They will use standard LEGO
bricks, programmable LEGO bricks, and other materials to complete these
design challenges. The week will start with activities focusing on
stability in design and move to other topics, such as, gearing, weight
distribution, and momentum, as the students incorporate programming and
motors into their designs.
Ages: For children entering grades 3-8 in the Fall of 2012
Dates: July 16-20 or July 23-27

Spring 2012 Workshops for Educators
SAM Animation
Wednesday, February 22, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Museum of Science
Explore SAM Animation, a unique stop-motion software developed by
educators for educators at Tufts University that provides flexible and
creative ways to engage students in science, math, and engineering
explorations. By capturing a series of still images frame by frame,
stop-motion technology allows learners to represent their thinking in
the form of a movie, like a digital flipbook.
Create an animation you can share with your students, and leave
with ideas about how this software can support your students' learning.
Our staff will also provide an overview of the services and programs
available in the Educator Resource Center in the Lyman Library,
emphasizing support for teachers as learners.
Funding for SAM Animation provided by the National Science
Foundation. It is compatible with both Mac and PC computers. A demo
version of the software is available. Co-presenters are from iCreate, a
Tufts spin-off company that offers teachers professional development and
support.
