Making the future employable

Schools have a part to play in making a student employable. “Every teacher has aspirations for every child. Each person brings something valuable and unique. Of course, every child has a contribution to make to their communities and their society,” said Moxley. She added: “From a school perspective, it’s our job to help every one of our students find their passion and their strengths and nurture those.”

How important is the role robotics is going to play in the future classrooms?

Robotics education will prove to be essential in promoting innovation.

Robotics, coupled with Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality will play an ever-increasing role in all industries, particularly education, medicine, warfare, and space exploration.

Robotics is connected with critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving — crucial 21st-century skills that will apply to all industries.
