Walk into most school robotics rooms and check the drawers. Half of what's in there hasn't moved since delivery day. That's rarely a hardware problem; it's usually a buying problem:…
In the same room, there are two kids, one a nine-year-old and the other a sixteen-year-old. While it is clear that it does not work, many schools usually use such…

A ninth grader once told a teacher, dead serious, that the essay was "basically mine" because she'd typed the prompt herself. That one sentence sums up most of what schools…
A school principal recently asked, fairly bluntly, whether buying a robotics kit basically covered "the AI thing" too. It doesn't, not really, and the confusion is understandable. The two get…
