Re: Technology and its future role in highschools...

I think it's a really interesting question you pose.

The fact that Robotics is starting to become an extra curricular activity in some schools that students multi-task with athletics shows that it's becoming a priority.

However, I don't think Robotics as a club will ever really dominate the school scene, whether in highschool or in college. There are just people who aren't and won't be interested.

I think the goal though, is maybe trying to give the opportunity to as many areas as possible, so that it's available and students can choose. I don't think it's that crucial that robotics dominates the scene, but more that awareness is out there and non-involved students understand it and see it as an option and a resource.
