Robotics emphasizes meaningful problem-based learning, integration and application of knowledge, hands-on learning in cooperative groups, and a demonstrable mastery of new learning. It attracts students to content domains such as mechanics, electrical circuits, and applied mathematical reasoning that all too often are stumbling blocks for middle school students. Robotics engages students in complex, strategic problem-solving and higher-order thinking—a set of skills that is a high priority for 21st century education.
With this new expansion Lego Technic kit and curriculum, problem-solving can be introduced in a gradual, self-motivated way, so beginner students can experience satisfying achievements right away, but then quickly move on to new challenges in a continuous progression toward greater levels of sophistication.
Robotics introduces students to knowledge, concepts, and skills that are needed for understanding the intelligent information-based technology of the future. I am excited to see how this will successfully prepare them for future, competitive jobs.
