Re: Teacher Designs

Sometimes mentors need to be reminded about what the program is really about. Is it about building robots? Yes, but only so far as it relates to the underlying goal of INSPIRING students. So what it's REALLY about is the inspiration and learning opportunities that are there. The robot building is just a process that allows this inspiration and learning to occur. However, if you feel that the learning and inspiration is not happening, it is a situation that needs to be brought to the attention of your lead mentor/adviser.

Also try not to make a distinction between "teacher designs" and "student designs" but think of them all as "team designs". This isn't to say that it would be okay for teachers to make designs and decisions without student input or doing it with students or vice versa. As long as teachers and students work alongside one another throughout the design process, there is no reason to think that there have not been inputs into these team designs by both groups.

Also remember that these robots are sophisticated machines. In most cases, the expertise of mentors/teachers is necessary for a robot to be built and operate.
