Engaging Parents in Robotics Education: Tips and Strategies

Agree! I’ll just pop a couple other great examples of PLC members engaging parents and community:

@Tina_Dietrich and @Desiree_White-Price have implemented a Mother/Daughter VEX Club as Tina writes it: “They are building robots and competing in the Ocean Science Exploration Competition together. We have also had a variety of local Women Engineers come in to speak to the girls/moms about their experiences in their careers. We have had an alumni who works in the engineering field, as well as representatives and current students from the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineer (Women in Engineering Program) speak about their experiences in school. @Desiree_White-Price and I are doing a poster presentation at the VEX Educators Conference with more information about this program! This is one of our greatest passions at the moment!”
-Check in with these two ladies if you want to discuss this more! Here are a few links to all the incredible press they received:
