The presentation is introduced with a slide show by advisors Rich Kressly and Mark Piotrowski. Then students are divided into groups and rotate through various stations entitled, “Simple Machines,” “Robots in Our World,” “Lower Merion Robotics,” “Teamwork,” and hands-on competitive experiences with operating VEX robots. Each station lasts about 5-7 minutes long and is run solely by the LMHS Technology and Engineering Club students. “When we use Portable Inspiration as a workshop package for elementary schools, we include the teacher at the end of a session by having him/her drive one of our 120-pound robots in front of the class. Each teacher leaves with a CD of files for follow up with the class on teamwork, simple machines, and robotics,” Mr. Kressly said.

Robotics team students teaching younger students at elementary and middle schools with hands on learning experiences. All participants learn through this process.
We need more opportunities in our school systems utilizing this method of teaching and inspiration.
