This project will accelerate student learning that was stifled by the Covid-19 pandemic closures and limitations to help them gain back the ground that was lost. So many aspects of coding require abstract thinking skills. The use of robotics allows students to combine abstract thinking with concrete thinking to increase their capacity to think abstractly. Robotics inevitably leads to greater and more sustained student motivation, which leads to creative innovations.
Students will engage in a cyclical process that requires them to inquire and analyze, develop ideas, test, and revise their projects to apply best practices learned during the coding. (9-12.ID.C.1) This process is fun and engaging and inspires creativity, collaboration, and perseverance as it prepares today's students to live in and understand a very technology-driven world. Nevada Content Standards in Integrated Technology require students to creatively use digital tools to support a design process and expand their understanding to identify constraints, trade-offs, and to weigh risks. (9-12.ID.B.1) These robot kits will put the materials in the hands of our students so that they can accomplish exactly that.
