Abstract | This paper presents a framework for implementing informal learning events through a multi-modal event. A specific example is provided using the Mars LEGO Robotics challenge during the global pandemic Novel-coronavirus-19 (COVID). Students in grades 4-6 typically develop Lego Mars Rovers and compete in a face-to-face large competition in three primary regions across the state of Idaho. Competitions typically include n=200-300 children and n=100- 200 adults. This year the competition will be held using multimedia posters and competition notebooks that accompany a virtual presentation and competition over an Internet-based platform. A mixed methods design is described as a methodology to collect data using a case study design and pretest/posttest survey. The paper concludes with implications and recommendations. (As Provided). |
