"My students struggle to understand these topics. By using these robots, my students find the math lessons more fun and engaging. Best of all, I didn't need to know about robotics in order to use the robots in my classroom."
"Our goal [in selecting and equipping the district's high schools with robots] is to develop students who use science, technology, engineering and mathematics to solve real-world problems and to provide them with exposure to additional career opportunities."
"I would like to say how impressed I was with the ability of the robots to generate immediate interest and its ability to captivate an audience. I used it to show how at classes we will be using different techniques and methods to learn mathematics through a hands on approach. As soon as I showed them the robot, I had not only the parents' attention, but all the children in the classroom stopped and were enthralled by the demonstration."
RobotLAB's Online Learning Platform is an interactive and hands-on learning experience organized by eye-catching themes (such as soccer-playing robots or autonomous cars). Students and teachers can access the browser-based learning ecosystem from any device. A user-friendly interface allows teachers, even those with zero programming experience, to bring their lessons to life with virtual or physical robots.
