challenges, as voiced by Iolanda, is
" How do we keep the content personalized and engaging, and we can really
address students, when we have 400
students in the class? " Scaling to a
broad student audience poses a challenge but also presents an opportunity
to innovate in the way we educate-
both in robotics and in general. While
we don't yet have answers to all of
these questions, we are on the path to
find them. It is certainly an exciting
time for robotics education.
