Abstract

By introducing children, in the final years of primary school, to simple
Engineering principles, children may consider Engineering, when they make the choice
of career, in the early years of high school.
Using a Robot, as this vehicle, ties the already existing fascination children have
with science fiction to a practical classroom interaction. This interaction should
effectively draw attention to Engineering and create interest in the disciplines it
encompasses. The exposure of children to Engineering, in this intimate format, should
help career choice and the growth of engineering in the future.
