Writing code uses - syntax, structures, commands, parameters
Creating logic uses - sensor data, conditionals, loops, operators
Interfacing with the world uses - motors, mechanisms, manipulators, motion
Computational Thinking uses - algorithms, abstraction, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity
The love of code uses - failure, perseverance, and the overwhelming joy when your code finally works
All of these components are what makes a robot, a robot. Coding is the glue that brings all parts together and lets students express their ingenuity by creating an amazing solution. Coding with robotics can change student's lives by showing them what they are capable of achieving.
