This progra m will provide access to STEM content and the technical expertise of our I EEE members to help you integrate this content into your teaching practice . The program will be delivered from January to June 2026.\n\nNEW! for 202 6: We are excited to introduce the Sparkfun's [XRP Robot](https://experien tialrobotics.org/) as a teaching platform for this program!\n\nThe program begins with a guided 16-week presentation of a [4-course curriculum in Ro botics & IoT](https://www.cool-mcu.com/bundles/rpi-pico-robotics-and-iot-c urriculum-for-pre-university-educators). Regular weekly after school Zoom meetings will help consolidate these concepts into your teaching practice. \n\nMore about the program can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/Apa DFzaCM9Q\n\nThis training is targeted towards Grade 11/12 Computer Enginee ring\, Electronics\, or Computer Networking Teachers. And it will be deliv ered virtually using a Learning Management System\, combined with weekly l ive Q/A sessions to verify mastery of the material.\n\nUpon successful com pletion of learning objectives\, you will be eligible to receive up to 16 PDH and 1.6 CEU credits from IEEE!\n\nWhen registering\, please complete a ll address fields\, so we can ship you a robot kit and track in time for t he kick-off session!\n\nYou will receive a separate email message when reg istration closes\, providing further instructions as well as the Zoom meet ing information.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dennis\n\nAgenda: \nKick-Off Meeting Agend a:\n\n- Outcomes\n- Courses & Topic Coverage\n- IoT Robot Hardware Review\ n- Using the LMS\n- Detailed Training Schedule\n- Assigned reading and lab exercise\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/506425 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/506425 ORGANIZER:r.nachimuthu@ieee.org SEQUENCE:48 SUMMARY:Pico Robotics & IoT Curriculum for Pre-University Educators (Kick-O ff Meeting) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/506425 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>To support your role in inspiring students to pursue careers in STEM-related fields\, we are pleased to offer the fo llowing program which provides a complete STEM curriculum for grade 11-12 students.
