Robotics

  1. Why Robotics?
    • Robotics can be use in education to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) concepts.
    • Robotics allows a teacher to talk about design, innovation, problem solving, and teamwork at the same time they are talking about math, science, and technology; robotics puts academic concepts in context.
    • People of all ages are fascinated as a robot moves around the environment seemingly making decisions on its own.
    • The skill sets students learn as they work with robotics can easily be transferred to many other industries.
    • The study of robotics allows the teacher to introduce or reinforce many applied physics concepts.
    • Robotics provides excellent teaching examples of the concept of systems and subsystems.
