• Apply a systematic framework to translate your AI research into K-12 learning experiences.
• Select robotics platforms and design curriculum scalable across grade levels.
• Create action plans with mechanisms for data collection and iterative improvement.
• Build equitable partnerships with community organizations.

Bot Blitz emerged from a collaboration between AI researchers studying autonomous systems and education specialists, resulting in narrative-driven robotics workshops using Sphero RVR+ robots. Concepts addressed include:

• Sensor fusion and environmental perception
• Autonomous decision-making and path planning
• Real-time environmental response
• Machine learning and computer vision basics
• Human-robot interaction principles
