These robots will make a difference by allowing more of my students to have access to coding robots. Every pair of students will now be able to access the coding process. Since we are a Title I campus, the majority of our students are economically disadvantaged. Thus they are not exposed to high-tech machinery. The future will involve more computer science jobs/careers than ever before. I want my students to be prepared and exposed to things they will need in the future. Try to picture a couple hundred kids' faces lighting up as they enter my lab and have some cool robots to code.
