 * Description:** This workshop focuses on using technology in the classroom to teach an inquiry-based science curriculum that is both student–centered and project based. Examples of computer simulation and robotics technology projects from 5th and 6th grade science courses will facilitate discussions on the use of technology to enhance students’ experience as scientists. Some of the specific technologies we will discuss include Interactive Physics, LEGO NXT Mindstorms and MIT’s Handycricket. The themes discussed in this workshop can be applied to any grade level.
