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 …show more content…

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.

Length of the Power Transmission Lab
In the same manner that the Sub-Saharan representatives where struggling to finish the Power Transmission lab on time, the freshmen students
