    Operation ROBO
    (05-2022) Edwards, Gabrielle; Chandra Cox; Patrick Fitzgerald; Tania Allen
    Nowadays, companies are seeking workers that can accommodate brainstorming, analytical thinking, and creative collaboration. A good mix of education, exploration, creativity and academic development can be achieved by merging the arts and sciences through a concept called STEAM. The interactive digital learning experience called Operation Robo will help develop some of the best thinkers of our future generation by kindling both sides of the brain - the left (analytical thinking) and the right (imaginative thinking). Operation Robo immerses young people in a digital learning experience that allows them to program the functions of a robot in order to better comprehend programming logic. By combining the arts and sciences, a good blend of instruction, discovery, creativity, and academic progress can be attained. We can cultivate some of our next generation's brightest thinkers by igniting both sides of the brain - the left (analytical thinking) and the right (creative thinking) - through Operation Robo (imaginative thinking). The user will be led through various activities that will help them understand various levels of programming logic. Each level will include an exercise that the user must complete before moving on to the next, in accordance with Kolb's experiential learning theory. In this case, art is about employing creativity and imagination to boost the development of STEM's vital abilities, as well as flexibility, adaptability, productivity, responsibility, and invention - all of which are required skills for a successful career in any sector.
