- It’s crucial for students to learn that theory and reality are not the same!
- If you’re teaching with robots, having students make the robot turn will often reveal how the angle specified in the code does not match up with the actual angle the robot rotates.
- Drive the point even further by having students test the robots on different surfaces!
- They’ll see how the same coded angle can elicit different results in different environments.
- Explain how software updates, like frequent Microsoft updates, are adjustments made when they find out something doesn’t work the way it is supposed to.
