On completion, the teachers will receive one graduate credit from the University.
It was reported that this online robotics course is provided through Extended University's National Teachers Enhancement Network (NTEN), a program which has been providing online resource materials since 1993 for K-12 science teachers. Complete information about this course and its application details can be accessed from the University website.
This six-week investigation-based robotics course highlights the contribution of robotic technology in NASA’s lunar mission.
