Book Review: Robotics in STEM education: Redesigning the learning experience

Technology and the global market is changing with greater speed—such as driverless cars, automated vending machines, bionic human prosthesis, and farming robots that weed and seed. Despite these changes that will demand new skills for the workplace, public education has remained essentially static.
