Abstract

This chapter explores Medibotics, the Merging of Medicine, Robotics and Information Technology; this program uses LEGO™ MINDSTORMS for Schools Kits with NXT Software to introduce students and teachers to engineering and Information Technology through the use of robotics, the rationale behind the program, the structure, and impact. The curriculum developed for the Medibotics program was a collaboration of university faculty and secondary school teachers, incorporating Information Technology, engineering, and robotics into classroom lessons by teaching students to design and build robots to solve biomedical engineering problems. Teachers receive intensive professional development in how to integrate the Medibotics curriculum and the robotics kits into their classroom instruction and in how to develop standards-based lesson plans.
