Letting go is hard.
Yes, in robotics, letting the robot go on its mission takes courage. Students usually want to see immediate success and often reach out to stop the robot when they see a “catastrophic” event coming up for it.
Persuading them to let the robot go to see the full outcome which could help them troubleshoot the issues or plan the next steps, takes time on our part and courage on theirs.
We have to admit that as humans, we often can’t bear to see our hard work turn out differently from what we planned.
This is where the learning is. Developing the courage to let the robot go, perform its work and being able to see the improvements needed as work in progress. Never a fail.
Let’s celebrate Robotics for what it teaches us.
Holiday programs are here!
For the upcoming school holidays we have a Computer Science module for students in Years 3 to 7.
Available in 3 ways, students can learn:
✔️In person
✔️Online
✔️Self-Paced

It took the student a while to work it all out, but to see his face as he accomplished his tasks brings great joy.
He was so excited, thrilled with his work and overall very, very glad.
Such is the power of Robotics. More than a decade of teaching students in our classrooms and this feeling never gets old.
