Project description:
Knowledge of coding is essential in the 21st century! Teaching coding through interactions with robotics can make the subject accessible to secondary school students, and Mech is a programming language that makes coding a highly learnable and teachable skill. This project has been developing an education outreach program using Mech called Forward Robotics and researching ways to implement it into middle school systems.
