Though our society is increasing their reliance and dependence on technology/programming, only 1 in 10 schools are actually actively teaching children how to code.

Robots can bridge this gap by bringing introductory languages as well as a fun way to get children interested in coding. STEM robots infuse coding with the traditional toy aspect, allowing kids to not only have fun but also be exposed to a necessary skill that will reward them in the heavily technological global market of the future.
