Using Underwater Robots to Build Your STEM PipelineDelve into using underwater robots to engage students with hands-on problem-solving activities. Lessons will incorporate Common Core, science, and engineering.

This template can be used as a starter file for presenting training materials in a group setting.

SectionsSections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. On the Home tab under Slides, click Section, and then click Add Section.

NotesUse the Notes pane for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. You can see these notes in Presenter View during your presentation. Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production)

Coordinated colors Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes. Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale.

Graphics, tables, and graphsKeep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors.Label all graphs and tables.

Give a brief overview of the presentation. Describe the major focus of the presentation and why it is important.Introduce each of the major topics.To provide a road map for the audience, you can repeat this Overview slide throughout the presentation, highlighting the particular topic you will discuss next.2

BackgroundGLCPSUrban secondary school in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Title I school with over 74% of the student population on free and reduced lunch. Historically, only 60% of students graduating from New Bedford move on to postsecondary educationGoal increase interest in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) fields.

Hypothesis

Incorporation of engineering-based learning (EBL) using underwater robotics will increase student interest in reading, researching, writing, and exploring science and engineering.

This is another option for an overview using transitions to advance through several slides. 4
