Robotics --free DVD to your home and free curriculum at NASA
My eldest son is captivated by the Mars Exploratin primarily because they are using ROBOTS!
What little boys doesn't love robots?
In fact, I just ordered a free DVD of a robot Anime cartoon here. I don't know anything about the movies offered except what I read when I place my mouse over the title (so order at your own risk and preview).
NASA has a web page dedicated to the education of children using the Mars exploration as the platform. Although most of the activities are posted for 4 grade and above I am adjusting the information for my 7 year old. I just have to explain things more simply than they might. Mars Robotics Education Curriculum can be downloaded in PDF form here.
Also instructions to make your own robot using common household items (we are planning to do this!) Or download those instructins as a power point (I did).
This page lists all the availible courses on robotics at NASA.
