Robots may not be physically replacing teachers in the classroom, but they certainly can act as conduits for learning. Robotic toys are tactile, great at getting kids to move beyond a screen, and push them to build something physical with their hands. They also can teach students about coding, as the instructions to get these devices to work require programs — which in some cases kids can write themselves. We outlined six, which can be picked up by families as well for students who will be spending the bulk of their time learning at home, again, this fall.
