Re: How Does a Robotics Engineering Course Increase Student Achievement?

We have several PLTW (Project Lead The Way) classes at our school. Nearly all of our students on our team, even the ones not directly involved with the fabrication of the robot, take the classes. All of the students have excellent grades, several of them have interships at our teams sponsors, and all of them attend college, most for engineering degree. I know personally, these classes are the reason that I'm going to be an engineer and that, like said above, they have relativly low costs as compared to sports. From a student stand point, these are the best classes that my school has to offer. I wish you the best of luck.
