Robots are starting to invade classrooms at FM. Afterschool Robot clubs are being held at both middle schools, and a Robot unit is currently being piloted in the Computer Applications classes. Programming the robots for movement and actions allows students to connect theory with practice in science and mathematics, particularly physics and geometry. NAO has also demonstrated proven success in LOTE and special education classrooms. FM has one full robot, and 2 torsos for use with a drag and drop programming application called Choreograph. Robots will soon be available for pilot classrooms at the high school. Read more about NAO Robots. |
