Note to parents:  We all want to take our homeschooling roll seriously.  For me, I want to give my precious daughter any chance she can have in this big changing world we live in.  It became apparent early on that this road we were on as both parent and student had to include computers and robotics.  They are very important in our kid’s education.

As I researched I discovered that over a million jobs exist today in the robotics industry. Everything from ATM machines to cars are now running with computers controlling them, even toothbrushes can be programmed!  Factory workers are being replaced by robots.  It is the wave of this new era we are in.  If we want to give our kids a good running start at career paths, they will need to work with computers and robotics at some level in the next coming generation.  Education just doesn’t look the same as it did even 20 years ago.

These links are a collaboration of information I have been gleaning on my journey to help my daughter get a running head start in what could be a major field of study when she graduates.

Having been to CRCCibernetica I also got to ask some first-hand questions on what path would be the most helpful for learning.  The Circuit Playground was highly recommended to me over and above any of the other pre-packaged robots and kits out there because it allows for the highest level of creativity and puts kids in the driver seat in their creations with Robotics.

Another program offered for all those registered with Heritage On line Christian School is Tynker.    Hope this helps!
