Central Brooklyn Robotics Initiative (CBRI)

As robotics, the young science of robots increasingly impacts our daily lives, it is essential for all students to develop an accurate understanding of robotics. In this effort, we are introducing elementary, middle, and high school students from Central Brooklyn to the foundations of robotics technology by engaging their imagination and creativity. Moreover, we are taking advantage of students' fascination with robots by using this as a hook to stimulate them to learn science, math, and technology. We expose students to modern technological applications and engage them in exciting hands-on learning activities.

 

Furthermore, we work with school teachers to improve their knowledge and repertoire of instructional skills in robotics. This effort, modeled after NSF's GK-12 Fellows program, deploys engineering students in Central Brooklyn K-12 schools to challenge students to design, build, and operate robotic devices in response to the US FIRST robotics competitions (First Lego League and First Tech Challenge).
