case study that was conducted using robotics to produce solving problem
skills. In this case study, students were placed into small collaborative groups

gadgets. It is easier to accomplish daily tasks and people are also able to do
work with efficiency. One cannot even dare to imagine life without smart

Today’s gadgets are one of the ways to make life more comfortable and
easier. Shy (2010) says that no one can deny the fact that gadgets have not
only simplified the lives of people but also made them more comfortable and
luxurious. Indeed, these gadgets really made a huge impact in people’s lives
