After the social isolation caused by the pandemic, children’s slow return to classrooms and playdates has served as a stark reminder of the importance of teaching them human values from an early age.
Human values depend on a community of people making the choice to live their lives in a way that benefits not only themselves, but those around them.
Given the extraordinary pressures facing parents and educators right now, how can they help these children, whose social interaction has been limited, to develop the human values they need to learn and live harmoniously in society? I believe that coding and robotics can play an important role. They can provide the opportunity to engage students in what I call “the coding playground.”
