We should integrate robotics because it provides computer science access to ALL students.

Not every student will be a professional engineer, but every human is destined to interact with robots in the future. Therefore, it is essential for all people, especially children, to learn how they work so that we can continue ownership over technology. If we lost ownership, we will succumb to the robotic overlords (not being sarcastic). Robots are increasingly relying on AI based on human programming (biased and flawed), and we have to regulate/manage data responsibly. Mic drop.

Unplugged lessons are amazing and fun. Not only are students using critical thinking skills but they are having to work through the skills physically and work with others. Coding has changed my classroom.

To prepare for the inevitable robot world.

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to give ALL students to opportunity to be exposed and get to use robotics and coding and to maybe make a positive impact on at least one.  It makes for a fun engaging environment for students.

Engagement, Engagement, Engagement!!!  Allows for instant feedback and problem solving.

# data[].attributes.body
It gives students 21st century skills and more creativity to see and learn. It's also powerful if there is a meaningful challenge associated with them, so that they can see value in how we can use robots to help our communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Instant feedback for students and authentic relevant joyful learning. It also helps engage all students and use their 21st century skills to collaborate and interact with technology. They become more than simple consumers and can become an author.

Integrating robotics is important because students will be able to think more critically, better problem solve, generate ideas, collaborate with others, and students will become more innovative inside and outside of the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
We are in the "catch up" mode with trying to keep pace with the tech industry. So doing all that we can is critical to preparing kids to be ready for the work force and use of technology in society.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a good reason to integrate robotics is to increase student engagement within the classroom. If we can up rigor using technology and still have high student engagement that is a WIN-WIN!

# data[].attributes.body
There are really so many different ways for students to explore what truly excites them. This is amazing.

We live in a world that technology is at the forefront of almost everything. The future of our students will likely be in some type of computer related field. I think robots allows students to work in many areas of the computer science field giving them exposure to many areas of applications.

# data[].attributes.body
To give students real world applications of concepts, demonstrate and apply knowledge/mastery of concepts in a tangible way that engages students.

# data[].attributes.body
Integrating robotics is important because it helps students to think more critically, problems, work with others, and initiates personal creativity and innovations.

# data[].attributes.body
Integrating robotics helps engage students and get them problem solving from the beginning. Working in teams also teaches collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
It's nice for students to have a chance to fix their mistakes over and over again until they succeed.

This Robotics workshop was an amazing as it taught us how to integrate technology into our classes.  Robotics promotes critical thinking skills, problem solving and collaboration.  Thank you!!

# data[].attributes.body
Robotics is a fun and engaging tool to use with students of all ages. It was fun to explore many different devices today!!

# data[].attributes.body
Students have to problem solve as they break tasks into smaller pieces, connect parts, and debug to fix their programs!

# data[].attributes.body
I need a bit of time to read through some of the info and then try some things myself, but WOW, the possibilities are endless!!!

# data[].attributes.body
It will bring in engaging activities into my classroom. It will also help with checking for understanding in a creative way.

Robotics gives us a medium for student to develop their coding skills while using problem solving/critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication. It is a fun way to promote higher thinking skills and problem solving that are essential skills for students.

# data[].attributes.body
Using robots is a great way for students to collaborate with one another in the classroom. It also gives students who perhaps do not speak a lot of English an opportunity to engage with their peers.

I think using the ozobots provides a really great opportunity for providing differentiation. I liked how they have the different levels of the block coding, so that can give built-in differentiation.
