The students in the school where I teach have never had the opportunities of LEGO robotics summer camp or after school programs. When I surveyed my class, I found that 2 have actually seen an Mindstorms EV3 robot before. I know that if I told my students that they would be in a programming class or a physics class, they would (and have) tell me that they aren’t smart enough to do this work. Instead, using the Mindstorms EV3 will let them gain these experiences through building and programming the EV3, which uses LEGOs that are familiar to them and so allows them to be open-minded to their own success. In a club I ran at elementary school with a similar demographic, a student was programming the robot so it would drive into a plunger that activated a small car. The student was having trouble due to a low speed of the robot, therefore not enough force. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up as he repeated F=mA over and over.
