In recent years, the trend of science education reform in the world is very fierce. Some new national standards for science education have been promulgated all over the world, and a new term: STEM has emerged. STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. There is a general consensus in the United States that a country's comprehensive strength depends on its innovation ability, and the cultivation of this level depends on its education level in science (S), technology (T), engineering (E) and mathematics (M). Therefore, after STEM education was put forward, successive American governments expressed their support for STEM education without exception.
Let's look back at China. Before China was forced to open its doors in the late feudal society, China basically had no science education and its social productivity was low. It was the artillery fire of the great powers that awakened the people of China. The importance of science education. The real science and technology education began to take shape after 2000. Nevertheless, today's exam-oriented education is still criticized as making students lack innovative consciousness and creativity.
Therefore, extra-curricular STEM education is a good supplement to the shortage in class. The learning of robot programming has become an excellent starting point for STEM education, because it covers all these engineering fields, such as mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and computer programming. Through the carrier of robot, children need to design, program, build, debug and try again and again. In this whole set of practice, it is necessary to cultivate the ability to find problems actively and solve problems innovatively, establish the sense of independence and improve the ability to solve problems independently.
Robot programming is to inject vitality into an object. In the process of construction, problems in any link will affect the final result. This requires children to make overall consideration, carefully plan, integrate knowledge of various disciplines and look at the problem comprehensively. After a long time, their thinking ability will be greatly improved. Finally, when children see their robots moving, it is the greatest encouragement for them and will also be the driving force for them to move on.
Seeing this, do you want to learn robot programming? I believe you have your own answer in your heart.
