The robotics program is a multi-discipline program. It can be incorporated into every subject area. It offers the opportunity to integrate technology with the curriculum and the students will love it. The robotics program facilitates teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, applying science principles, and mathematical solutions. The program integrates reading and writing, presentation skills
, research, and creativity. In a nutshell, this program prepares students for being the workforce of the 21st century. How it works
The students are given a task. The students build a mechanical robot to achieve defined functionality. These robots are often equipped with sensors to respond to their environments. These sensors, which may be required for the advance robotics program, include light, temperature, rotation and others. Defined tasks might start very simply and could become very complicated. These workshops also help the student to improve team-building skills. This is a skill that many adults do not have. Young children find that working in a team can be tough. This program requires that children build their team skills - an essential skill for working in the 21st century. Benefits
