Worcester Technical High School is a vocational-technical high school and a member of Worcester Public Schools district. It has over twenty-three different trades from four difference academies from which students can choose. Offering students a high school Diploma and Technical certification accelerated academic courses and education for equity in both the classroom and the work place. Moreover, helping students grow academically and socially for future success.
After deliberate consideration, Worcester Technical High School expressed an interest on applying the Robotics modules to their freshmen students. The goal was to introduce the school into a beta version of our modules and a full version of the Power Transmission module for

Power Transmission Lab I (shorten):
The goal of this lab was to provide a clear overview on how to teach subsequent labs and modules for more suitable results. Not to mention, introduce free-body diagrams, driveline speed/torque transmission effects, optimal transmission ratio, and utilization of motor torque, power, and speed curves to predict Driveline performance. For this shorten version, we focused on the hands on experience sections to determine the coefficient of friction between the wooden block and the wooden ramp through pulleys, along with speed test given different gear ratios on the Basebot. Through this lab the freshmen students were easily introduced into the broad field of robotics.
Feedback:
To have a more useful feedback we decided to be present during the execution of the Power Transmission Lab I. All along we where gathering meaningful information to further develop our current modules to improve future results. Additionally, we witness the major problems students were facing during the lab. After meticulously analyzing the given information we could distinguish the areas that caused the most problems for the students and their learning capabilities. Some of these areas are: duration of the videos, length of the Power Transmission lab, and a lack of a pacing guide.

In Order to achieve my goals, I need to get accepted into High Tech High School. There are many goals that I want to achieve when I am accepted into this high school. First, I want to join this high school because I want to get the best quality of learning. Secondly, I want to join because of the variety of courses, and the extracurricular activities. Finally, and most importantly I want to achieve my most important goal of becoming my dream career.

I will forever owe a great debt of gratitude to my 5th grade science and math teacher, Mrs. Donna Lindley, for introducing me to the STEM world. Mrs. Lindley is a truly exceptional teacher who somehow managed to stimulated a desire for learning in the mind of a 10 year old boy who's primary goal in life was to pre-order the upcoming version of "Pokemon" to play on his Gameboy. Mrs. Lindley organized and supervised the St. Thomas Episcopal Grammar School's robotics team and made sure my older brother and I were involved with this extracurricular program. I began to build robots with Mrs. Lindley in the "Junior FIRST Lego League" (Jr. FLL) where small, computer programmable, robots were re-designed each year to accomplish new and different tasks.
As a young child, I was always taking things apart and trying to put them back together. Even though I broke numerous things, my mother has always encouraged me to follow my dreams. Today that dream is engineering. I am especially interested in Robotics. To be able to combine Mechanical, Electronic, Computer and System Design to create a useful product is extremely intriguing to me. I believe Georgia Southern can provide me with the knowledge and experience I need to achieve my goals in Engineering. Georgia Southern is ranked one of the highest Engineering Schools in Georgia. I am excited to explore all the opportunities available to me at Georgia Southern, including research and the Honors
The storied history of the United States Army Signal Corps is lined with technological achievement and advancement. Evidence of the technological advancement and achievement is seen in the Signal Corps development of the Airplane, the meteorological service and more recently the massive improvement in net centric communication, which has led to greater command and control for leaders in the field. It is now time for the Signal Corps to tackle the next big project, and that project is robotics, a field that can change the way the Army fights and wins wars.
On my visit to the Dunwoody campus, I could not wait to look around. I've been attending the Math and Science Academy for seven years. Even before my sixth grade year, I have always enjoyed constructing things, playing with building blocks, and making little robots. On the night of my sixth grade orientation, I visited my school to be and was surprised when I walked in the front door. I was greeted by an eight foot tall robot made by high school students. They were part of the program called For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST). I
The physics students at Paul International High School conducted a project where a ramp was constructed to see how far a toy car could travel. The ramp’s angle of incline was changed in each trial. This experiment allowed students to understand how the angle of incline effect something as important as a car. For this project, students were provided cardboard, tape, scissors, books, and toy cars. Each pair created designs for their ramps. Each ramp was around the same length and adjustments were made to ensure that the toy car would not fall off the ramp. For our ramp specifically, we hypothesized that if the angle of incline of the ramp was low then the toy car would not travel far.
These robots are known as the ICub, and excel at interacting with the human population safely. One of these robots, known as Molly, exists in Bristol, England (Honigsbaum). This small combination of metals, wires, and computer components actually helps the elderly with simple tasks that they would ordinarily need help with. In addition to helping the elderly, the ICub can also help clean the work space of individuals. Simon, an upper-body humanoid, assists in moving a variety of items and cleaning workspaces. This robot was developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and statistics state that, “Simon could tell with close to 80% accuracy whether someone was paying attention or ignoring him.” This proves that it is indeed possible to create helpful machines that can also interact with humans through the regulation and extra development of artificial intelligences. All of the activities that the ICub Robots partake in are completely beneficial to the global society and will have a large impact on the culture of the world as a whole. An added plus to the push for technological development is that countries can use these advancements as a way to better the future of their state. These nations can accomplish this through the integration of robotic aids into their school systems. An instance in which this concept is used occurs in the Connecticut school system.

In the book, the author talked about the reasons which cause the project schedule delay. The author used a problem called students syndrome which happens in the students, and also I think it’s normal happening in employee community. In students life, there is a phenomenon happens a lot. When the professors assign homework, such as if a homework could be finished in one week, but most of times the students will ask for two weeks to finish which mean that the students like to have longer time to make sure they have enough times. In this case, if the professor agrees the request to make the due date in two weeks, what will happen? The
Power distance is how society portrays the fact that everyone are not physically and logically the same. People are all different in size and they also have very different ways of processing information. Individualism versus collectivism is the relationship between one person and the society. If a person is individualistic, he or she are more than likely going to focus on their self. If a person practices collectivism, he or she will focus on other people and also focus on his or herhelf as well. Uncertainty avoidance is how certain cultures socialize members to accept uncertain situations and deal with insecurity. High uncertainty avoidance is when a person has to have a plan or security before they make certain choices. Low uncertainty avoidance is when a person like to take risks and live on the edge. Masculinity versus femininity is the relationship between gender roles. Masculine is viewed more as strong and in charge. Feminine is viewed more as gentle and compassionate.
