Popplet in The Robotics Classroom: The Future Is Now
Summary
The advance of robotics is not turning out to be the Terminator-like experience of the movies: Schools still exist and they are not teaching our kids how to protect themselves from the Arnold Schwarzenegger type androids prophesied in The Rise of the Machines. Since the invention of the computer, and especially over the last ten to fifteen years, we are encountering them more and more: in industry, the intelligent telephone voice, and digital assistants such as Siri and Alexa. Check out one of the awesome student presentations below: Ms. Klyczek’s PLTW class at Round Lake Village Elementary School was involved in a similar project and published a ton of great images on Facebook. To answer that question, PLTW Launch Master and Teacher, Mrs. Kelly Newton of Ann Arbour, Michigan, had her 5th-graders collaborate on some robotic research. One great feature of which is that not only can you build stuff, but students can also learn how to code and program their new-born creations to carry out tasks – robots!
