(http://thewiredhomeschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/meet-edison.jpg)Today is DAY 7 of a special Podcast Awards (http://podcastawards.com) edition of The Wired Homeschool. If you want to listen to any previous episodes in this series, you can find them all here (http://thewiredhomeschool.com/podcastawards).
Let’s get started!
Meet Edison
I’ve mentioned Edison (http://meetedison.com) in a previous episodes and even interviewed the inventor (http://thewiredhomeschool.com/brenton-obrien-edison-robot/). This inexpensive, LEGO-compatible little robot is a great way to introduce your kids to robotics. There are even free lesson plans and worksheets you can download.
STEM or STEAM Categories
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are the easiest STEM categories to cover with Edison and creative kids can decorate their little robot or make custom activity mats (https://www.instagram.com/p/BDJEv-Rp-CQ/) to add an artistic flair.
