Educational robotics is a mess. There are a bunch of different platforms, and teaching materials can be ad-hoc. The contests have been successful but the First people don’t talk to the Botball people. That’s why we’re pleased that iRobot has started putting together SPARK, an educational resource site for teachers and students. They’re collecting information and activities and trying to start a lively educational robotics community.
It’s nice to see Modular Robotics listed up there next to heavyweights like LEGO and VEX. Thanks, iRobot, for developing an inclusive community site dedicated to improving educational robotics.
