Robotics Introduced In Art Classes for Grades 3 - 8

Fourth graders watch as a team's robot performs well on a mission.

Students at Saint Peter Catholic School of Greenville, NC began building and programming autonomous robots as part of their work in 3rd-8th grade art classes during the spring of 2018. Through this work, students were exposed to the art-related career field of engineering, and experienced how math affected real, physical outcomes as they programmed their robots. To design and construct robots, students applied the type of spatial intelligence and structural reasoning that is also used in the art of sculpture.
