The Robots are Coming!

I love this head line! Many middle schools, high school and college students can already relate to this! First Robotics clubs and classes are enticing our children into fascinating hands on projects that engage them into considering careers into aerospace engineering, biomedical, designing, 3D modeling, anything their innovative minds can conjure up! This is an exciting time for innovation, but will our education system be able to offer these courses with the continued budget cuts? We need these projects in our schools! They provide real-time, real world hands on applications that help our students problem solve, use applied mathematics skills, develop teamwork principles, and the list goes on! My friend and great teacher Michael Werner out at Granite Falls High School is attending the Pacific NW Informal Educator Training this week to learn more about WaterBotics! Check them out on Facebook if you have an account. Great pictures!
