As educators, the authors believe in guiding students towards the life skills, knowledge, and expertise they need to succeed in life and in the workforce of the 21st century. With that in mind, they have created a project in which students drive their own learning through creativity and collaborative work to develop an efficient product. Through the project, students are exposed to new technology applications, and they become more proficient communicators and advanced problems solvers. The project is an interdisciplinary unit in which students from health and technology education classes apply a variety of skills to create and program a student-designed robot. In the course of assembling and operating a simple robot, students practice critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, use of Web 2.0, and more. (Contains 1 figure.)
