Hai Hong, a contributor for The Advocate, writes: "At Google, I lead the Outreach team for Computer Science and Digital Skills Education, which means I get to support CSTA and other great organizations working to broaden access to CS education. In this role, I often find that educators are especially interested in learning more about Google employees (we call them Googlers) who use computer science, so that they can better prepare their own students for the workplace."

Robotics isn't yet commonplace in K-12 classrooms, but it's getting there. It might seem daunting, but don't let that deter you from exploring what promises to be an incredibly engaging and rewarding teaching and learning experience. Introducing students to robotics and other STEM concepts that go along with it, such as coding and engineering, gives them early exposure to STEM in general. This early exposure, according to research, is key to the future of the workforce.

Robotics education is becoming increasingly commonplace in schools. This is largely due to the fact that students in K-12 schools will graduate into a workforce that's rife with technology, in an era where robots will become widely used in our everyday lives. Even if these kids choose a career other than coding or robotics, learning robotics teaches them many important skills such as analytical thinking, programming, teamwork, collaborative thinking, innovation and more. It can be easily incorporated into STEAM education, which is becoming more popular in schools worldwide.

Let's take a moment and investigate the STEM acronym, after-all it is being used quite a bit across the United States and the world. Often we hear the content areas; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math as being the basis of STEM. While this is a wonderful collection of nouns that can be used to put together a cross-curricular, transdisciplinary, or project based learning unit of study; it seems to leave out many of the other disciplines through this content definition. By focusing just on these four areas we are losing the powerful and authentic learning opportunities that STEM thinking can bring to the classroom.
