Elementary Students Get Hands-on With Advanced Robots

Students at Peslmüller Elementary School try their hand at controlling Franka research robots.

The young learners quickly picked up basic programming skills while working with the machines.

School officials say the program aims to get more students interested in science and technology early.

The children showed creative approaches to solving problems with the robots.

Teachers noticed students adapted quickly to working with the complex technology.

The hands-on sessions let students work directly with professional-grade robots.

The program helps spark interest in science and engineering careers.

Students learn basic coding concepts through real robot control.

The project shows how schools introduce complex technology to young learners.

This early exposure helps children understand modern robotics.

Teachers hope the experience inspires future engineers and scientists.
