We work with robotics, because robotics are tools that allow them to learn coding and to learn abstract logic and thinking while not sitting in front of a computer screen. So robots have motors, they have sensors, they can move around. Each block represents a command for the robot. So same as with a robot.

Steve Jobs said in his final Apple keynote introducing the iPad 2, “It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing.”. In this case, we asked teachers to specifically choose math or science because we wanted to do a STEM-to-STEAM arts integration. Vicki: Wow.

So we use the Paper 53 app on our iPads. Now, do you use robots? What about robotics? In my class, we use the Sphero robot quite a bit. See Top Tips for Teaching with Robots Using Sphero. So that’s my Go To robot. Then I had some success there and started to break out using iPads more in the lab setting.

We do a lot of work with Scratch Junior , a free app on iPads and things. Calculating those X and Y coordinates — which really kids of most ages can do — and then realizing that they can make the physical robot go here or there based upon their program. That’s what these robots are. Steven: Exactly.
