The jobs of the future don't exist yet today, but trends show that they are heading towards increasingly STEM based careers. These seemingly simple Sphero robots masquerade as play but teach fundamental programming skills. Social interaction and group work are foundational skills for future work and enhanced learning. Programming a robot to complete an obstacle course, or complete a task are the skills that win big funding and scholarships. By working in groups to create tasks, program robots, trouble-shoot errors, and negotiate ideas, my students will be be inspired to reach for vocations that involve technology. Students attending Title One schools don't have the same access to technological equipment as other financially stable families. This digitally fluent generation can rapidly grasp programming language and electronic interfaces. Without hands-on, real world technology, and horizon-widening experiences in school, these student risk ending up in the same low paying jobs as their parents. This kind of inquiry and exploration adds meaning to daily math, reading, and writing practice and directs student thinking towards future education. It creates a motivation to learn well and to seek out greater opportunities.
