The advancement in technology in recent years has had a significant impact on our lives, led to sectors expanding, and has contributed immensely to how we now do things in different parts of the world and have impacted the educational sector.
Schools now have a big responsibility to teach the students about past events or current affairs and prepare them for their future. The good thing is that the educational system moves in the right direction and already takes some necessary steps to ensure this. Everything that we know and see in robotics has its roots deep in research, following an academic model with scientists, policymakers, and governments all on board. As we continue to develop this, it is also becoming increasingly important that we include robotics as a significant part of educational curriculums.

Artificial Intelligence is Improving Education Sector like never before!
We’re in 2020 and long past the days back when we used to stand outside the school library to get the opportunity to copy two or three Encyclopedia pages, to use as a kind of reference for our school projects.
With this age having grown up with the benefit of access to technology at their fingertips, the field of education has hugely changed and overturned in this digitally driven world. Artificial Intelligence in the education market was worth US$2.022 billion for the year 2019.

STEAM, or the synergy of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics, is one of the hottest buzzwords of today’s education, and with good reason.
STEM, an educational model based on similar principles, but with the conspicuous absence of an A for the arts, capitalizes on the importance of technology and hard sciences in an increasingly digital world, but some have reacted to it with fear that our children will not be as well-rounded if we neglect the humanities.
Unlike STEM, which is interesting in its own right and undoubtedly profitable if we look at school mainly as a way to grant future graduates a high-paying career, but risks becoming hyper-focused on certain subjects and letting the rest fall by the wayside, STEAM encapsulates the whole of human knowledge in one handy acronym.
Here are the five greatest benefits of a STEAM-based education.
