Educational Opportunities
We are hard at work on the scope of the opportunity that we will be able to provide for free to Catholic schools. We are starting with Catholic schools and then will expand after we have a comfortable, sustainable scope. If you would like to help us get started with your ideas or viewpoints, please sign up as a volunteer or vendor or education poobah at our site (free) at the bottom of the page (white link in about us in the black). That will allow you into our forums and video/audio collaboration tools.
Culture and Outer Space Data sets to use with your AI.
We are committed to ensuring that your computer labs at the college level have access to and can provide the latest data sets to k-12 schools from our archives (history, art, culture, language, and outer space exploration).
That means that you will be able to provide students with the best tools possible to help study their specific areas. In practice, your school will sign up for free to the FARS program and then you can access the closest or best Catholic college or university partner for you online to get your data sets and/or LLMs.
Hands on for the students
Creating labs that students have to solve using equipment is getting a little easier. We have some virtual and real lab equipment that we are developing that should allow your students to use it online to solve problems and learn without cost. In some cases, we will even include the curriculum, though if you and your colleagues develop your own, you will be rewarded for sharing.
An example would be our rover program. In outer space, we are growing a parallel virtual system over time that will cut the cost of planetary exploration expeditions by a lot. On the planet Earth, we are doing Auto-con bond projects (Automatic [Project] Construction Projects) that are largely built by machines controlled or supervised by humans. [We only take projects that wouldn´t occur without automation]. As the projects are bonded, we can set budget aside afterwards for training to pay for projects, equipment, and labs that would be beneficial to students going forward. So of course, that leads to a lot of discussion about programs that might work as standards like arduino and other platforms.
School Level | Rover Program Earth | Rover Program Outer Space | Certification available in addition to school credit |
K-8 | Single Rover multiple features | Antarctica and Local Practice | Y |
9-12 | Single and group-system robots/rovers for construction projects and outer space- Basic | Antarctica and Solar system rovers: (Asteroids, Mars, Ceres, Pallas, Charron)- Basic | Y |
University or College | Single and group-system robots/rovers for construction projects and outer space-advanced | Antarctica and Solar system rovers: (Asteroids, Mars, Ceres, Pallas, Charron)- Advanced | Y |
Remember, though, without your participation as educators, the program won´t be as successful at making an impact. So get involved and let us know your viewpoint as we grow!
