Superintendent: Nina Faletti

Exhibits due in Exhibit Hall I between 9:00 - 9:30AM, Thursday, July 9

Oral Judging will begin at 10:00am

Exploring Spaces, Going Places, Level I

Exhibit one of the two options listed below: Using the "Take Me on a Tour" activity, create a display and map showing four to six tour sites, geo-tools used to create the map, positional data for the sites, and information about the selected sites OR

Using information from the "What Are Geographical Tools?" activity, prepare an exhibit showing and describing ten mapping tools. Explain how the mapping tools are used and why maps are important.

Exploring Spaces, Going Places, Level 2

Using the table from the "Take Me on a Tour" activity, create a map showing recreational, historical or public service sites in your community. Determine if there is a need for additional community resources. Make written suggestions for what resources should be added and where they should be located on your map.

Exploring Spaces, Going Places, Level 3

Create a computer-generated map with layered data that provides information on a community need. Explain how the need was identified; how you gathered information; and your recommendings on how to solve the need. use the template from "Take Me on a Tour" activity to gather data for the map.

Robotics

Robotics Explorer, Chapter 1

Create a computer slide show or science board display describing 3-5 examples of robots and their uses in the real world. Label and describe what makes each robot more than a machine or computer.

Robotics Explorer, Chapter 2

Use your robot to demonstrate OR create a display of a program you wrote to make a robot travel in a square. Provide a narrative that describes your experience designing and troubleshooting this program.

Robotics Explorer, Chapter 3

Use your robot to demonstrate OR create a display of a line tracking program you wrote that uses input from a sensor (e.g. touch, light). If exhibitor brings a robot, bring your own mat or track for demonstration purposes. Provide a narrative that describes your experience designing and troubleshooting this program.

Robotics Explorer, Chapter 4

Use your robot to demonstrate OR create a disply of a line tracking program you wrote that combines input from two sensors. If exhibitor brings a robot, bring your own mat or track for demonstration purposes. Provide a narrative that describes your experience designing and troubleshootiing this program.

Robotics Probe, Chapter 1

Use your robot to demonstrate OR create a display of a line tracking program you wrote that uses a rotational sensor to determine distance traveled or to control turns. If exhibitor brings a robot, bring your own mat or track for demonstration purposes. Provide a narrative that describes your experience deesigning and troubleshooting this program.

Robotics Probe, Chapter 2

Use your robot to demonstrate OR create a display of an experiment you designed to test the travel distance and speed of a robot designed using different gears. Provide a picture of the robot you designed with all gear types, pulleys and belts labeled. Provide a narrative that analyzes the results of your experiment.

Robotics Probe, Chapter 3

Use your robot to demonstrate OR create a display of a line tracking program you wrote that uses advanced programming strategies, such as using containers, loops and subroutines and using combined sensors. If exhibitor brings a robot, bring your own mat or track for demonstration purposes. Provide a narrative that describes your experience designing and troubleshootiing this program.
