How to Start a Robotics Program Tomorrow!!
Thursday May 8, 2025 12:30pm - 1:20pm PDT
Through robotics instruction students engage directly with the Strategic Plan Pillar 1 – Academic Excellence.  It explicitly aligns to Strategy 1B: Enriching Experiences through STEAM and 1C: Eliminating Opportunity Gaps by allowing typically underrepresented students groups to engage in authentic STEAM aligned activities.  A strong robotics program aligns to many Leadership Standards including 2A1 – Builds capacity of school leaders to adapt to and manage change as well as 5B1 – Advocates for students.  Additionally, it aligns directly to the LAUSD School Leadership Framework 6A5: Seeks, allocates, and uses technology and other resources to support learning.
