"What Do Robots Do?"
Audience: General audience, Grades 3-6
Goal: To encourage thinking about the types of jobs that real robots are good at.
Description: Each slide initially only shows a picture of the robot. The audience is asked to name the robot and its job. It starts with Hollywood robots, then progresses to real robots, culminating in a live demo with the Swarm and a live demo. In three years, only a group of 4th graders at Starbase Robins has gotten them all correct!
