Stop envying kids who can assemble robots or code them to move! Many kids are just following steps blindly. If you remove the manual, they may completely lost.
That’s not the case learning at .
After watching Brayden learn here for nearly 2 years, I see his logic improvement in daily life.
For recent one, our wall clock ran out of battery, so Brayden help to replace battery. When he flipped the clock over, he asked if I know what those 5 gears in the back actually do.
Then he explained to me that the main 3 gears are for the hour and minute hands, tiniest one is actually for the second hand because small gear can complete one cycle faster.
I was confused… our clock doesn’t even have a second hand on the front. Why would it need a gear for it?
He said even if you can’t see the second hand on the front, the mechanical system in the back MUST keep spinning it. Otherwise, the minute and hour hands won’t be pushed forward! And the other 2 gears are there so that when we manually turn the k**b to adjust the time, it can drive the other three gears.
Wow! When I was 9, changing a battery just meant matching the plus and minus signs. 🤣 I would never have thought about how gears collaborate as a system.
The clock is just one example, but it proved to me what his time with has truly given him.
So, to the parents worried about fake learning, don’t just watch what your kid has built, watch how they look at things when the manuals are gone. That is where real logic hides.
✨School Of Robotics is having an Open House! Bring your kids build and code their very first robot from scratch for FREE.
