At Everett Public Schools, weve always had a robotics team at the secondary and primary levels. Last year we were up to 50 robotics groups within the FIRST company. Throughout the shutdown, we entered into a panic over how students wouldnt be able to physically “touch” and work on the robots on school anymore.

We discovered what we were trying to find in CoderZ and not long after, we shifted our whole robotics curriculum over to that platform. We werent sure how lots of trainees would wish to visit from home willingly, but our involvement levels have really grown since the pandemic shut down in-person learning in March 2020.

I didnt want to lose our robotics stipend, nor did we want students to miss out on out on that finding out during the shutdown. For assistance, we started looking for an online platform that would augment our in-person robotics curriculum.

Here are 5 reasons we put energy and effort into producing and growing our coding programs:

Students require shows skills for today and for the future. We think that all trainees require to have some programming experience in their life as the world is moving towards more automation.
