“It’s time to rethink the way our children learn. It’s all a bit overwhelming, attempting to restructure the age-old classroom model, particularly in a system as bogged down in bureaucratic red tape as education. This month, however, we packed up our things and toured the country to find out how educational institutions are adopting new models to help reinvent the learning process – rather than sitting idly by, waiting for the system to change around them. Naturally, technology is playing a huge role in that shift, moving from models of teaching to models of learning, where students can explore, express themselves and learn at their own speed.”

“The Chicago Knights are a cosmopolitan borderless all-city high school team that is committed to making a difference in the lives of the people we meet,” the group’s website says.
“Our members represent every demographic you can find in Chicago. Our students have been educated in home, public, private, parochial, and alternative academic settings. Our student and adult members hail from all over the Chicago area.
“We all meet on the Chicago campus of Illinois Institute of Technology for the common goal of building the best students we can as we learn how to build better robots.”
