These are the benefits of robotics workshops for children

If your goal is to find an entertaining, productive activity that encourages the intellectual development of your children during the holidays, the robotics it’s a good option. Find out what are the benefits of this activity to provide your child with real knowledge, which meets current trends.

With the rapid advancement of science and technology, robots will soon be displaced in many activities. They have started in some that are considered tedious or risky; but, also in careers such as secretaries, cashiers, lawyers, publicists, etc. Therefore, it is important to educate others on the subject, from an early age.

Encourages the intellectual development of the child

The work with robotics materials is related to the development of thought. The highest stage in the development of thinking is the formation of logical thinking. This depends on the creation of conditions that stimulate their practical, playful and cognitive activity.

“In robotics workshops, logical and systemic thinking and creativity are developed, since robotics is an interdisciplinary activity, children acquire knowledge of computing, electronics, mechatronics, mechanics, engineering, physics, mathematics and geometry. This step-by-step technological creation of robots from scratch sparks children’s interest and taste in math and science. The meaning of why study, why do homework. In short, a dream, and perhaps a passion that will give a north, a meaning to his life “comments Egidio Auccahuaque, who has been an expert in educational robotics for two decades.

Cultivate perseverance

In each workshop, children apply their knowledge to create robots, step by step, overcoming mistakes And all this in a playful way.

“Building a robot requires greater perseverance and care. So, for example, the screw screwed in the wrong place can cause failure. These kinds of activities greatly help the development of attention, concentration and fine motor skills”adds Egidio.

broad perspectives

In the next 10-15 years, robotics will become as familiar a technology as electricity, electronics, used to be. Robotics prepares for today’s technological world of work, but also provides a more realistic vision of science and engineering careers. Many finish high school without having anything clear.

“If modern children from preschool age intelligently know how to control almost any electronic device (cell phone, tablet, etc.). Why not direct the “thirst” for modern technology in a useful direction? And besides this, develop many qualities, skills and intelligence”concludes Auccahuaque.
