1
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:05,900
if your child is really interested in

2
00:00:10,619 --> 00:00:08,380
robotics and a lot of kids are they see

3
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:10,629
the robots on Mars and they're like I

4
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:12,280
want to do that when I grow up like

5
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:13,900
totally encourage them to do that

6
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:15,820
because that is a really really super

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:19,270
fun career they do need good solid math

8
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:21,130
and science background so of course

9
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:22,449
encourage them to do their math and

10
00:00:25,769 --> 00:00:23,980
science when they get to middle school

11
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:25,779
and high school take computer science

12
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:27,369
classes they'll have the opportunity to

13
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:29,470
learn how to program a computer starting

14
00:00:33,509 --> 00:00:31,390
as early as third grade you can buy a

15
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:33,519
robotics kit for your child to use at

16
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:35,710
home they can build little robots that

17
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:38,110
go forward backward turnleft turnright

18
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,960
and that'll come in really handy because

19
00:00:44,459 --> 00:00:42,879
right around fifth grade sixth grade and

20
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:44,469
middle school all the way up into high

21
00:00:48,299 --> 00:00:46,750
school there are competitions that your

22
00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:48,309
students could be involved in they can

23
00:00:52,590 --> 00:00:51,039
do them as a group as a team like ok

24
00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:52,600
I've got my robot here I've got to make

25
00:00:55,619 --> 00:00:54,460
it do this how do I make that happen and

26
00:00:57,209 --> 00:00:55,629
it's always within a certain amount of

27
00:00:59,400 --> 00:00:57,219
time so the kids are like under pressure

28
00:01:01,709 --> 00:00:59,410
but it gives them something really good

29
00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:01,719
to strive for and it's actually
