Strawbees Robotics can make a difference in students learning by providing hands-on instructions, interactive experience that leads to creativity, critical thinking and problem solving. Students will have an understanding of STEM concepts by building and programming their own robots especially engineering and coding while developing teamwork and communication skills.
The goals for the robots will allow teaching of basic robotics and engineering design.
Secondly, it will allow enhancing coding proficiency while using a fun and engaging platform. Lastly, it allows for collaboration, creativity, and problem solving.
What makes my students special is their diverse learning style, curiosity, and their ability to thrive with interactive, technology-based challenges. They are eagered to explore new technologies and apply them to real world problems. As a neurodivergent friendly classroom, hands-on projects like Strawbees Robotics cater to different needs which makes learning empowering.
