- 2. WHAT IS ROBOTICS? Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture and operation of robots. The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways. Robotics can take on a number of forms.
- 3. W H AT I S I T S P U R P O S E ? The goal of robotics is to design machines that can help and assist humans. Robotics integrates fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information engineering, mechatronics, electronics, bioengineering, computer engineering, control engineering, software engineering, mathematics, etc.

Bit by bit, you can add onto this knowledge base, and with time, you may branch out into more complex coding. Not only will you learn the basics of working with logic-based problems, which will come in useful for many IT, STEM, and mathematics-based careers in the future, but it will give you a good foundation for learning other programming languages. Most of these languages rely on very similar principles, and by learning to program at an early age, it will make it easier for you to pick up another programming language in the future.

Robotics is an excellent skill for future career development Programming and other IT-based skills have become an integral part of our modern workforce. With more and more companies switching over to IT-based systems, and with services becoming increasingly complex and customised to meet the unique needs of countless industries, the demand for these skills is only increasing. By learning to program through robotics, you will be given an excellent chance to explore a skill that could potentially turn into a very lucrative career.

Robotics teaches problem-solving skills To succeed in robotics takes patience; the courage to work through mistakes; and problem-solving skills. By learning robotics, you are given the perfect environment to learn all of these things. In addition to this, it also gives the ideal environment to learn how to handle making mistakes. In our increasingly fast-paced society, many children aren’t given the time or space they need to learn how to work through mistakes.

Robotics encourages curiosity and creativity Aside from developing crucial problem-solving skills, robotics can also be an excellent activity for stimulating creativity and a curious mind. In a similar vein to LEGO and Meccano, robotics provides a toolkit and challenges to build something new. With a basic understanding of robotics, there are so many avenues to explore and discover. It will provide the perfect environment to stretch your creative muscles, especially if you inclined to building things or show a great deal of curiosity in how things work.

Although our generation could get away with learning the bare minimum when it came to technology, the same cannot be said for our children. Being computer literate is now mandatory in many fields, and increasingly we are seeing that 3D printing, drones, and advanced machinery are becoming more and more common in various working environments.
