Woodland Hills School District, an urban school district just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. had ambitious goals: to improve the STEM education of its students and remove barriers to participation in STEM careers, especially for women and minorities.
To implement their bold vision, school authorities supplied every school and K-5 classroom with age-appropriate VEX robotics education programs. Teachers received support for implementation and the results have been impressive. Students at all grade levels work with teachers and classmates to build, program, and use their robots. In doing so they’re mastering STEM concepts and building soft skills like teamwork and communication.
