So, I have continued my robotics/coding journey. It just keeps getting better and better. The kids are really starting to understand the language of coding. And, it has been amazing to see who has stepped into the expert texspert role. It is not the usual student leaders. I have found that coding is a leveled playing field. Some kids that are gifted at school are not gifted with this required "thinking outside the box." I have also watched gifted students struggle with perseverance issues. Since they have not had to work hard at school, they do not have their grit muscle strength like some students that have to persevere every day. Fascinating to watch.
It has also forced students to really understand angles. To give correct instructions, the students have to inform the robot at what angle it should travel. A lot of discussion, trial, and error have brought a greater depth of understanding than any curricular math lesson.
