It will be responsive to the
needs of all robotics
educators through information
exchanges, seminars,
conferences and free
curriculum exchange efforts.
To do this, we need advance
information about robotics
initiatives, milestones and in
particular, education trends. To
facilitate this, the National
Robotics Education Foundation
offers a monthly newsletter,
online communities at state
and national levels and a
frequently updated website
covering the vast, growing
world of robotics. This website features the latest
information on the following topics: | • | | FIRST, BEST, Botball, TSA, MATE, Trinity Fire Fighting, FIRST LEGO League and numerous other robot compeitions held on local and national levels. | | | • | | Robotics Curriculum offered commercially and robotics lesson programs available as freeware | | | | | | | | The Latest news on: | | | | | | | • | | Educational robots | | | • | | Field robots | | | • | | Space robots | | | • | | Medical robots | | | • | | Industrial robots | | | • | | Service robots | | | • | | Consumer robots | | | • | | Military robots | | | • | | Social welfare robots | | | • | | Entertainment robots | |

Given extensive use of surveys, advisory panels and expert analysis, many issues highlighted by the National Robotics Education Foundation are often not identified until months later by the popular press. |
