Children interacted with these representatives who were also coaches and were teaching the kids how to make robots out of Legos and how simple it is to use a laptop or tablet to control a robot appropriately.
Speaking to Dr Patricia Gouws, she said, “We want students to have the entire set of revolution skills and 21st century abilities.
“From an early age, we teach Grade 4 students how to build a robot where they learn how to solve problems with the robot and also how to be original and use their imagination to build.
“It’s about kids using their abilities and ideas to develop robots.”
