WHY ROBOTICS?
EASY-TO-USE SYSTEMS
The world needs more problem-solving leaders. Students develop problem- solving skills and learn programming fundamentals.
“I can hire these kids who are coming out of these programs directly into the workforce because they have all the skills that we look for. They know how to work on a team, they know how to program, they know how to deal with real-world systems, they also know how to deal with failures more importantly.” - Shivakumar Venkataraman Vice President of Engineering at Google Hands-on curriculum options give educators the tools they need to help students design, build, and program robots that provide technical knowledge and build communication and teamwork skills. Easy- to-use systems enable effective learning for both beginners and experts (ranging from pre-K through college).
Elementary and middle school is the most formative time in a young student’s life. The best way to instill a lifelong interest in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is to provide a fun, engaging, and hands-on opportunity to explore and experience it for themselves. THE PASSION TOWARDS STEM STARTS EARLY
