Update: 90 students with ACEBOTT + generic kits, end-year notes
Posted: Fri May 15, 2026 2:00 pm
Followup sa earlier thread tungkol sa kit selection. Decided to do half ACEBOTT, half generic for the year. End-of-school-year reflection:
ACEBOTT students: more consistent project completion (better instructions help), less troubleshooting time per session, but several students said "I want to make something else but I don't know how to start outside the kit."
Generic kit students: more variation in outputs, more debugging time but also more "wait, what if I add a buzzer here?" kind of curiosity. End-of-year projects more original.
For schools building robotics from scratch: start with ACEBOTT for first quarter to build confidence, then transition to generic. The structured-to-open path worked better than I expected.
Sino dito teacher? Any data points para sa next school year planning?
