The Inside Scoop: Nurturing Young Minds Through Robotics

January 28, 2026 — On this week's edition of The Inside Scoop, host David Owen speaks with Tritt Elementary teachers Courtney Pasqual and Joey Giunta about how robotics can play a big role in a student's academic growth.
Pasqual and Giunta help oversee the science and technology labs at Tritt and take pride in educating the next generation in STEM.
This conversation takes a closer look at how Tritt and other schools across Cobb incorporate robotics and technology into the education of even some of Cobb's youngest students. From using computers to learn how a mouse works to designing posters and exploring STEM curiosity through technology, learning opportunities are everywhere.
The Tritt teachers discuss how curriculum and growth opportunities have expanded over the years, with robotics and coding now available to even kindergarten students in Cobb.
In the past, Tritt has hosted a robotics workshop led by nearby high school students to help grow the young students' interest in STEM.
Owen, Pasqual, and Giunta discuss how problem-solving is at the core of robotics for young Cobb students.
What Tritt and many other schools in the district offer is another example of the unique ways Cobb students learn, helping them discover their interests naturally while also positively impacting their overall learning.
In this podcast, you’ll learn more ways to get your child involved in STEM and robotics, as well as what you can do at home to promote and stimulate overall learning.
