Needs, robots, and styles Teachers’ continued desire to hone their skills and those of their students paves the way for the ongoing success of robotics education. By introducing Pitsco TETRIX® PRIME and TETRIX MAX STEM Units, teachers will be buoyed by the growth exhibited by their students. And with the new TETRIX PRIZM™ Robotics Controller, TETRIX now has a brain – meaning human-controlled robots will give way to robots that are coded, move autonomously, and sense the world around them. TETRIX PRIZM provides a vast area of technical learning experiences for teachers and students. The addition of these valuable sources for curricular growth might sometimes demand more in the area of expenditures; thus, it might be of value to scan some of these funding sources:
