“It’s fun” she said.
One of ways to empower the kids to feel like engineers and builders is to give them this fun pin tool. Then watch them work with it.
Girls can do it. Anyone can do it.
Don’t be afraid of robotics!

At first, it seems a little scary to touch a robot. However, when the student starts to gain some confidence and become unafraid, they usually willingly take over and have their own fun with it.
That’s the way it should be. Let them have fun.
I was thrilled to be coaching this student today. Her big smile, lovely manners throughout and determination to finish tasks before rewarding herself with snacks, made me stop and think.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this level of wonderful attitude. We may or may not see each other again after these school holiday coaching sessions but I won’t forget how she made me feel.
That I am her teacher and that she respects the work I set for her.
What a wonderful human she is 🎉
