The hands-on nature of the class makes abstract concepts like coding, physics, and engineering principles much more tangible. Students collaborate, troubleshoot, and problem-solve in real time. The most exciting part for students has been seeing their code come to life. One student in particular, who was previously very quiet in class, has become a leader during robotics sessions!
