For events based on Target Audience, scroll down below schedule.

10:00 - 11:00 am PST

Middle and High School | Robotics: Past, Present, and Future | Gautam Salhotra (Ph.D. student in Robotics Embedded Systems Lab)

A graduate student in robotics research presents an overview of cool robots we've seen (including TV!) and robots we should expect in the future.


2:00 - 3:00 pm PST

Elementary School | Find The Robot | Prof. Elisabeth Weiss

Did you know that we will be interacting with robots in our everyday lives in the very near future? Join Professor Weiss and the students of WRIT 340: Advanced Communication for Engineers as we follow the robot through familiar settings like the kitchen, grandma’s house, a local hangout, school, the office, the dance studio- and even Mars! Guess what the robot is doing there. What purpose does it serve? Does it know it’s there?

WRIT 340 students: Hannah Abramowitz, Carley Braunstein, Jackie Dong, Ginger Dudley, Michael Eberhardt, Wei Long Fam, Noah Flanagan, Ruizhuo Jin, San Kim, Tre Lannon, Jane Wang, Tony Lu, Lucy Pan, Helen Salinas, Tyler Somlo, Noah Tristan, Angela Wang, Nianxu Wang, Xiaowen Zhu

3:00 - 4:00 pm PST

Teachers for Grades 3 - 10 | Coding and Coding Careers with Discovery Education | Sarah Johangiry

Discovery Education offers a quick, useful overview of comprehensive STEM and Coding curricula and interactive materials. Many LA districts use Discovery Education materials or teachers can request a trial.

Panelists: Sarah Johangiry, Hugo Encisco, Stacey Ridgeway

3:00 - 4:00 pm PST

Public | Race, Robotics, and Civil Rights | Chad Jenkins, Maja Matarić, Kendrick Davis

Robotics researchers increasingly consider the racialized impacts and experiences of communities of color in the burgeoning fields of robotics and robotics technology. The panelists discuss the relevant civil rights implications and offer recommendations on centering equity in technology development and use. Co-sponsored by USC Race and Equity Center.

Panelists: Prof. Chad Jenkins (U Michigan), Prof. Maja Mataric' (USC Viterbi), Prof. Kendrick Davis (USC Race and Equity Center)
