Differentiating Learning with Educational Robots

Robots transform elementary classrooms by engaging students in hands-on, interactive learning. In this post, we will dive into how I introduced the Code & Go Robot Mouse. If you are curious about using robots in your classroom, keep reading and try these activities with your students! Through a fun “driver’s license” certification activity, students developed problem-solving, sequencing, and debugging skills. We also explored a math activity using coins and basic pathways, integrating robotics into foundational skills practice.
