Why Robotics? Approachable

• Familiarity of LEGO & ease of programming• Appealing to multiple learning styles• Quick and tangible results (Fun Factor)

Extendable• Continuum of FIRST Competitions• Leverage of prior learning throughout • Breadth and depth of Engineering specialties and STEM content

Flexible• Meet student’s needs “where they are at”• Meet teacher’s needs through robust, yet flexible, curriculum• Meet school’s needs through multiple course models
