July 27, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. ET: Engineering Your Summer — Technology Drives Exploration: Robotics on a Budget (Grades 4-8) – Robots are a part of our everyday lives. We use them in ways we don't always recognize. What are robots, how are they used in our lives, and how are they used at NASA? These are some of the questions explored in this webinar. Participants will learn how to use robotics inexpensively in the classroom by integrating NASA STEM robotics missions, curriculum and online resources to enhance students' STEM understanding. Activities discussed in this webinar meet Next Generation Science Standards 3-5.ETS1 / MS.ETS1. Register online to participate. https://www.etouches.com/187402
July 28, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. ET: Climate Change Webinar 3: Human Impact on the Coast (Grades K-12) – In Part 3 of this webinar series, participants will continue exploring climate change. NASA research scientist Dr. Dorothy Poteet will discuss human impacts on coastal ecosystems in the New York region. Participants will also learn about NASA STEM resources related to climate change that may be implemented in the classroom. Register online to participate. https://www.etouches.com/181749
