People often ask me if I know the secret of success and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true. My answer is, you do it by working. I suppose my formula might be: dream, diversity – and never miss an angle. – Walt Disney “The Quotable … it was all started by a mouse.”
Activities on codemathTEKS to give you 90 degrees angles to build diversity and dreams in your classroom.

Bee-Bot Activities Using Design Model
Part of doing good research is sharing what you have learned with other scientists. That is how science progresses… It was two lovable Hollywood stars (R2D2 and C3PO) that served as enduring and endearing AI inspirations for Cindy. It was HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey that inspired her mentor, Rodney Brooks, to study artificial intelligence (AI). – “Robo World – the story of robot Designer Cynthia Breazeal” by Jordan D. Brown 2005
It is YOU who can inspire the next Designer.
