In the News "These
(YouthTouch) creative teaching tools have gotten rave reviews from Shamona Creek
students. The motivation for the students is amazing. It's so much
fun! The girls and boys love it. I've actually seen them jumping up
and down. It's the greatest compliment to a teacher because they want to be here." "Lincoln Elementary School students have the privilege
of having new hydraulic and robotic-type equipment... A large number of math
and science related concepts can be brought to life using the hands-on equipment" "(YouthTouch) is intriguing because it will allow the
students to incorporate problem-solving skills that they may use out in the real
world. The hands-on learning is critical. That's how we all learn
really, but particularly for students in this age group it is a meaningful
experience." "This makes computers come alive and makes them real
for the children. We keep telling them computers are the tools they will need
for the future. This makes that lesson practical." "Teachers in the third through fifth grades... got a
crash course in several stations of robotic and hydraulic equipment. 'Once the
kids see this, they won't want to do anything else,©said fifth-grader teacher Chris
Rogers. The school district (is) a participant in a pilot program to help teach
math and science to elementary school students with the help of technology." "No matter what job you choose, you will need to know
how to use the computer. Learning keyboarding now is the first step toward using
computers" "It's intriguing because it will allow the students to
incorporate problem-solving skills that they may use out in the real world" "I see a lot of connections that can be made into many
aspects of learning. It gives a great appreciation to handicapped people who rely on
robotics to live their everyday lives. It opens the door to the possibilities of
technology" "We are trying to use all aspects of technology in the
classroom, not just computers, ... We're not teaching technology as a separate course,
we're using technology as a learning tool. It's a real motivator for the kids, and a great
opportunity as we make our way into the 21st century" "It is very impressive to me. The children will learn
a lot of things about robotics movement and what robotic arms can do ... The products
involve having a knowledge of mathematics, mechanics and automation principals."
