ROBOTIC...WHAT A PASSION!!

What is robotic?

Essentially, a robot is a mechanical device that can be programmed to follow a set of instructions. The robot has a processing unit, sensors to perceive its environment, and motors and actuators to move its limbs or wheels. It may speak, make other sounds, or flash with lights and colours in response to the environment as per instructions. Robots need the ability to follow programmed instructions and not just be controlled remotely.

Why should it be taught in schools?

Here are five reasons to teach robotics in schools:
1. Children find it fun
2. Effective way of introducing programming to students
3. Provides skills useful in future employment
4. Suitable for children with a range of abilities
5. Demystifies a complex technology
