Technology has enabled science fiction to morph into reality: a reality where bigger, faster, and more resilient robots are being invented. These mechanical machines can teach students valuable lessons about computer engineering and programming, which is exactly what is happening with the new robotics class, recently added to the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis class gives kids a different kind of science class to take. We get the general biology, physics and chemistry classes, but this is an opportunity for students to really get the hands-on approach to science,\u201d teacher Brandon Woodworth said.<\/p>\n<p>Students learn how to program robots using a series of trial and error activities. They type codes into computers and then send those codes to Lego robots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like that it\u2019s a trial and error kind of class, which gives me an idea if I want to go into the field of programming and engineering,\u201d senior Ian Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p>The robotics class has made it possible for students to get a hands-on approach to a growing field of science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe send robots to the moon.
