Robotics is a great way to introduce engineering into all subject areas. When creating robots to solve a particular problem, students must use researching skills, mathematics, design, and so much more to create robots that do specific tasks. So why are robots only being designed in specified robotics courses or after-school clubs? We should be integrating robots, coding, and design into all courses. I would love to see our schools using robots in math, ELA, science, social studies, and elective courses to integrate the disciplines and show students how robotics and automation are so important for our future occupations. A few weeks ago, our district had teams compete in the GM Robotics Challenge at a local community college. It was amazing to see what the teams came up with to meet the challenge. Most of the teams came from high school robotics courses, but our middle school teams were after school clubs. Wouldn't it be amazing to see more robotics in all courses dur
Just sharing my learning! Hope you enjoy!
