focus your attention

part A: try it

one place we find robots is in education.

Now, I’m not talking about robot teachers.

we don’t have those just yet.

but many schools have robotics clubs but build robots to enter in robotics competitions with other schools.

there are robotics competitions for students of all ages; from primary school to university.

for instance, the Junior first Lego league competition is for students as young as six years old.

and each competition focuses on a specific task.

for example some competitions are for robots that can move around on land.

others are for aerial robots, that is robots that can fly through the air.

many schools use robotics programs to motivate students.

in other words, educators hope that by building robots, students will be excited about studying math and science.
