Why Robotics?

The NMC/CoSN Horizon Report > 2017 K-12 Edition identified Robotics as a key trend in accelerating technology adoption for the short term (one to two years).  To ready students for these workforce developments, schools are introducing learners to robotics technologies from a young age. The notion of coding as a literacy detailed earlier in this report will also help robotics gain additional traction in K–12 education.  Further, the study of robotics has value in developing 21st-century skills that students can apply to many fields.
