What is Robotics?

Robotics is a form of specialized engineering that deals with design, construction, operation and application of robots.

The world needs the students of today to become scientists, engineers and problem solving leaders of tomorrow. Science is increasingly presenting us with challenges in how we problem solve through the use of technology. 

In this unit, students learn to assemble a robot (Clawbot), a fully operational robot. Once assembled, students try coding the bot to perform simple tasks.

STEM: STEM combines Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education to form an engaging field of study. The VEX IQ platform provides a stimulating, hands on experience while learning. This is the program we are using so please have your child discuss with you how they are assembling these robots.  

Collaborating and problem-solving are some of the many skills built into this program.
