GEMS Education Teachers use Robotics to Help Teaching Thinking

Students and teachers are making use of a new device to sustain the growth of vital and creative thinking - programmable robotics. In the passages and class of GEMS Dubai American Academy, GEMS Modern Academy, GEMS Preschool Starters and others, children could be seen building and programming robots to solve issues and to express ideas.

For many teachers their trip with robotics started this summer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, UNITED STATE. Educators from KG1 with the high school from throughout GEMS Education met at Carnegie Mellon University for the second yearly GEMS/CMU Interdisciplinary Robotics and Computational Thinking Conference.

The conference was aimed to train classroom educators in exactly how they can integrate robotics, and computational reasoning throughout their everyday classroom educational program ensuring that trainees gain vital skills and personalities from an early age.

Michael Gernon, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Innovation, Research and Development GEMS Education, said: "Today's students need to produce with computational reasoning and robotics in an ongoing means to inspire inquisitiveness, creative imagination, play, invention and to cultivate the necessary abilities they will certainly require for a world of extraordinary intricacy.

"The knowledge and dispositions essential to comprehend and produce with computational reasoning and robotics are now a 21st-century vital. This seminar is GEMS Education's initiative in the direction of preparing its instructors in un-paralleled means, to meet the expanding demands of a transformation education sector and a rapidly progressing world," added Gernon.

At the conference, GEMS educators learned and developed with stars in the fields of computational reasoning, robotics and education and produced incredible tasks that they could take straight back to their colleges and classrooms.

The Interdisciplinary Robotics and Computational Thinking Seminar is part of a pioneering professional understanding program arranged with the objective of to inspire interest, creative imagination, play, development and to grow the necessary skills students will need for a world of extraordinary complexity.

Participating teachers met this week to prepare the inaugural GEMS Computational Thinking Summit to be held in November, focused on sharing their learning with teachers across the GEMS Network.
