Robotics - What is it?

Picture
Robots are machines that can do three things: sense, act and think. Students can gain powerful knowledge in STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math). Instead of students just using robots, we have chosen robots they can either build themselves or transform with maker materials. Robots are now accessible for students of all ages and abilities and are an engaging classroom tool to support STEAM.

This section will start by featuring child friendly robots to begin using in your classroom. 

​Check back soon as we add more classroom robotic technology for your makerspace!
