I evangelise the use of Robotics for teaching coding, engineering and teamwork.
Multiple robots, multiple systems, many challenges, many students, tons of happy faces, some confused ones. Several lightbulb moments. On the quieter days, lots of preparation, building code samples, building obstacles and workloads, designing courses and challenges.
Here's the first step for high school students
Learn coding, learn mechanics - buy a cheap robotics kit, not a prebuilt one and not one that makes a single robot, but one you have to use your imagination with.
"Don't waste your time fiddling with electronics, you will never do anything worthwhile with it."
