Control Systems and Robotics Outreach to Middle-school Girls: Approach, Results, and Suggestions
We conducted a three-day outreach camp focused on
control systems and robotics for 8th grade girls from
economically disadvantaged families. The overall objective
of the camp was motivating the young girls to consider
pursuing a career in engineering and sciences. The main
focus of the camp were hands-on labs using LEGO
Mindstorms EV3 kit. Students learned about programming,
sensors, motors and put their skills to test by creating a
mobile robot that took part in three contests: car racing, line
following, and parallel parking. A pre- and post-camp survey
indicated that although program did not predominantly
change the girls’ excitement towards careers in engineering
and sciences, it increased the girls’ knowledge and
excitement towards robotics and control systems. Our results
indicate that short camps help kindle the interests of young
girls, but are not able to sway them to take on
engineering/science careers. In the latter case, we
hypothesize that long-term STEM-based programs (e.g., a
quarter or year-long robotics course) might be more
effective.Cockrell School of Engineerin
