Robotics is rapidly becoming an integral part of the curriculum, with its ability to integrate into a wide range of topics, especially the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Robotics encourages children to think creatively , analyze situations and apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to real world problems. Teamwork and cooperation are the stone angular any robotics project. Students learn that it's okay to make mistakes, especially if they lead to better solutions.
Robotics is a fun and engaging way to teach fundamental technology, math and science concepts. There are several key aspects of education promotes robotics :
Problem Analysis : Robotics encourages students to take a broad look at the situation and determine specificity, the problem needs to be resolved. Real world applications easily found, giving students context of your project. Before construction can begin, students must identify "what is needed to comply with this robot." With this in mind, how should the robot need to put at the service of these?
Design in the real world : With an application in mind, and an idea of \u200b\u200bthe application, students can now begin the design process. This stage offers great rewards for students and those that produce physical implementation of the conceptual ideas. There are plenty of opportunities for improvement and improvement as they discover errors in their plans and problems that never would have considered during the design stage. The prototypes were built and quickly discarded with lessons learned, this is a student progress toward an optimal solution. Resources must be managed and the commitment between form, function and cost.
Programming: A variety of programming languages \u200b\u200bavailable for robotics, since graphical development environments for textual languages. Programming skills teach students to think logically and to consider various situations, as they learn that a robot does exactly what it says, neither more nor less. Information about a variety of sensors must be processed and treated in a logical and as with the design phase, there is ample opportunity for trial and error, with this the students can refine their robots to make it work at its best time.
