"Teachers can use this app with their students as open-ended exploration and play that can lead to learning about engineering design. They can challenge students to create the best robots for specific types of terrain, and then for a wider variety of terrain. The forthcoming manual will also include plenty of discussion questions and will help direct learning. There&#39;s a natural connection to the types of activities students will do in The Robot Factory and what will be required in experiments and engineering design activities in science classes, especially those implementing the Next Generation Science Standards. If students enjoy The Robot Factory,&nbsp;teachers might encourage them to branch out to more complex creation platforms like Algodoo or Minecraft and apply the same processes of design thinking they&#39;ve learned."
