Job Description: Robot Genius Responsibilities (may include, but are not limited to):

• Classroom Mentor

o Robot Genius is a role model for the students who want to pursue a major that focuses on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math).

o While the majority of actual robotics-related instruction is provided by the Master Robot Genius and through video lecture, Robot Geniuses are expected to understand the material and to explain it to students who may not have understood the presentation

• Individual Mentoring of Students

o Help students to build with LEGO. Find students who are ‘stuck’ on a camp activity and help them to get back on track. This may involve helping students to think ‘outside the box’, or it may simply involve re-explaining robotics concepts from the lecture so that students understand.

o Demonstrate possible design ideas to students (to stimulate their imaginations) using Lego pieces or EV3 programming code o Refrain from actually completing the student’s work for them… it is important that students complete the activities themselves so that they feel a sense of accomplishment and technological proficiency
