In a gifted and talented classroom, students are given the opportunity to experience curriculum in a more advanced approach. The introduction of computer programming and coding, using iPads, could lead students into the field of technology for their future. Without these experiences, in the gifted classroom, these students might not have the opportunity to enhance their natural abilities and talents. The iPads will allow students to use software to plan, test and modify sequences of instructions from a variety of real life robotic behaviors. The students will use critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and communication to build and program the robots.
