Kelly and Sean interview Tom Lauwers, founder and CEO of BirdBrain Technologies (https://www.birdbraintechnologies.com) about the role of robotics in the computer science classroom. We've used the Finch 2.0 robot, which is designed to use the BBC micro:bit as a foundation for coding and computer science. Whether you're in a traditional classroom, teaching after school, or just trying to get people excited about the POWER OF CODING, robots can play a vital role in learning.
