RoboCupJunior Primer: Expanding Educational Robotics.

This paper describes an online resource designed to aid in the creation of educational robotics programs where teams of mentors work with middle and high school students. This resource, The RoboCupJunior Primer, is based on five years of undergraduate mentoring experience in a local public school. The primary goals of the primer are threefold: first, to expose interested parties to the resources necessary for the creation of a RoboCup team; second, to provide a location for students to communicate with members of other teams and demonstrate specific examples of success; and third, to house an archive of lesson plans as well as tips for creating interesting and efficient lessons.
