Our middle school robotics team as well as the 5/6 grade classroom is actively involved in the FIRST robotics competitions. Learning how to program a robot as well as build a robot benefit students in many ways. For instance, programming is often too complex for most students to grasp. Robotics is a simpler and more tangible introduction to programming. Robotics is a production-based learning module. Students have the opportunity to create something tangible and make it perform the actions that they program it to do. Not a lot of fields combine creativity with engineering and technology—robotics does. When students are introduced to robotics in their school years, they can discover many interests and talents that they may have. Robotics in schools can help students turn their frustration into creativity and innovation. This is a valuable life lesson that teaches our students perseverance and determination when faced with challenges. Having a Heavy Duty Storage Cabinet will allow the students to store the parts and/or robots as they build and program.
