Our school is offering an introductory ninth-grade Computer Science course to open up a multi-year pathway. The course requires a unit on robotics, and these Edison V2.0 robots would enable students to transfer their knowledge from our programming unit into telling these robots what to do. In particular, the format and appearance of the Edison robots' block programming is an accessible transition from the programming unit from Scratch. These Edison robots are the robots specifically recommended in our curriculum designed by a UCLA/LAUSD partnership and the Professional Development at the Pathfinders Summer Institute. We need to have at least these six robots so that groups of students can work with them rather than just crowding around to watch as the teacher or a single student performs the tasks and discoveries. As a 21st century school offering a course on becoming creators rather than just consumers of technology, we need to put moldable and changeable technology into the students' hands.
