Why is Coding and Robotics important

1. Coding and robotics develops creative and critical thinking skills.
2. Programming is the future. It develops high-tech pupils for high-tech careers. As the work force demands increase and improve, the growth of high-tech skills must be developed.
3. It is a fun and interactive way to bring STEM to life.
4. Coding skills are in high demand. These skills develop negotiation and reasoning skills.
5. Programming helps children to learn to problem solve.
6. Develop resilience and the ability to bounce back after making a mistake, to try again after failure while working towards a goal or target.
7. Robotics and coding teaches children to think logically, taking mathematical and scientific contexts into consideration.
8. Robotics technology is suitable for children with a range of abilities. It is pupil-orientated and provides each pupil with the opportunity to develop their skills at their own pace. The pupils take charge of their own learning.
9. Robotics and coding instils collaboration and social skills.
10. Creates an environment for children to develop logical sequencing skills and take leadership in directing the flow of a project.
