We got our vex classroom lab kits this week and now I can't get the students to concentrate on anything else. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the curriculum, and they already built working robots in the first 2-3 days. I was worried about teaching robotics in class this year, and now it's a piece of cake - we may even allocate more weeks to the robotics stuff than I had planned.
I don't know anything about CAD, but we've already got a group of students working with the Inventor software that came with the order - we might need to start a new class just for CAD and animation in addition to working on the robots, the students just love it. It's kind of refreshing to have students asking if they can come in during lunch and after school to work on their robots and the inventor software, I'm not used to having to kick students out of the room, but I guess it's a good problem to have.
