Spotlight on Jake

In this video , you’ll explore what is happening when Jake is working on a robotics task.

At first glance, this might look like a typical STEM activity. But as you watch, look a little more closely. What is he actually doing? What capabilities are being developed through the task?

Students often demonstrate skills such as problem-solving, persistence, and critical thinking as part of everyday learning. But these are not always named or made visible.

As you watch, consider:

• What is Jake learning beyond the task itself?
• Which skills can you see in his actions?
• What might be missed if we focused only on the final outcome?

This step invites you to notice the difference between completing a task and demonstrating capability.
