Education has many disruptors–3D Printing, AR and VR, 1:1 technology, STEM, and STEAM–but a recent and wildly popular one is robotics. One I discovered this summer is Wonder Workshop’s collection of three robots — Cue, Dash, and Dot. That, by the way, is one of my favorite parts of this fun little robot.

In a fifth-grade class at Redlands Unified School District in California, students sit in pairs, building LEGO® Education robots that hop. Building robots, sailboats and pulleys also helps students see how to apply their learning to real-world situations. They're laughing, chatting and (sometimes) getting a bit frustrated.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.
