Educational robotics involves young learners in creating, programming, setting up, and controlling robots. This activity requires the use of logical thinking and problem-solving skills, in other words, the development of computational thinking.
Robotics education encourages students to think critically and solve problems through hands-on experiences.
As students work on designing, building, and programming robots, they become more adept at analyzing situations and developing innovative solutions. Robotics education often involves real-world applications, allowing students to understand the social and economic implications of technology. They may explore how robotics can address societal challenges, such as healthcare, environmental issues, or accessibility for people with disabilities.
This projects is requesting different types of robotic kits to get the students started in robotic education.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
