It went great. Kids used the robotic hand to pick up the trash and clean up the classroom at the end of the class just for fun

We worked in a robotic hand machine made out of a plastic cup, some construction paper and a straw. Kids loved it!

The students had a great time and were engaged throughout the lesson. I saw some pictures and the structures that they built were all unique and very complex. It resembles molecule structures from chemistry, which looks like the main focus of the class.
