Abstract

This chapter explores a unique framework that conveys engagement and innovation with diverse learning experiences focusing on the implementation of computational thinking and 21st century skills as essential elements in a robotics education program. Engineering design applications with robots create an atmosphere in which students apply abstract mathematics and science concepts. The robot and its technology immersed in the field of education create excitement in the minds of children by giving them powerful hands-on tools stretching across the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The combination of robotics education and computational thinking skills unlocks creative and innovative sparks through fun and engaging hands-on activities. Robots provide a fascinating powerful learning opportunity that reinforces 21st-century skills in tech-savvy language familiar to today's students.
