Today, teaching means preparing our students for jobs that do not even exist yet. The traditional job markets are evolving and becoming very technology-driven and dependent. Industries outside of technology such as: finance, manufacturing, health care, information technology (IT), data analyst, artistry and design, and engineering now have job demands with computer coding skills. This shift has made coding a core skill for our students to be successful in their future. In class my students have been exposed to a very basic level of coding using a free educational website. With these Dash and Dot robots my students will be able to make a physical connection of coding and begin their journey of robotics. Robotics is then offered as an extracurricular next year as a 5th grader, in intermediate, as well as at the high school and collegiate level here in Hilo. Please help me prepare my students for a successful and meaningful future.
