Mr. Parr's Science Class

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@RonSender I am a Middle School Science Teacher in Pittsburgh, PA, USA and my students are learning about cell reproduction. This year I have been tweeting their questions to scientists in the field and you seem like the guy to ask. Do you mind if I send some your way next week?

Mr. Parr's classroom is reading for the #CountdownToMars.

@robotsmarts how do you make sure your robots are good?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts can a robot do my homework or tie my shoes?

@robotsmarts what do robots need to keep moving?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts what keeps you motivated to keep doing your job?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts what happens if robots actually take over the world?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts Would you still have become a scientist without seeing The Terminator?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts Do you have a robot that cleans your room and does the dishes?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts What happens if one of your robots breaks down when it is helping someone?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts what made you want to become a scientist?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts Hello, Mr. Parr here. Sorry for sending so many tweets your way today. I just wanted to say that you are a major inspiration to a lot of my students and wanted to give them an opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments. Thank you for being you!

@robotsmarts Did it feel like you stuck out a bit when you first started working in robotics?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts Will you dedicate your life to teaching?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts how did you decide to build robots for kids with disabilities? What journey took place for you to get from NASA and Exxon to where you are now?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts how do your robots make you feel?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts do you slightly change the program for each robot, or is it completely new every time?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts How long does it take to build a robot?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts Why did you choose to work with the people that you did?

[MrParrsClassroom @MrParrs]

@robotsmarts Is it satisfying when you build a circuit for the first time and it works?
