Programmable robots and drones
Programmable robots can be used to explore algorithms and implement programs to complete a desired outcome. Progammable robots allow students to use and design more complex algorithms and implement more sophisticated programs that incorporate decisions and repetition. Students draw on computational thinking to solve problems and challenges.
