Educational robotics and coding for schools

This workshop aims at introducing teachers to educational robotics and discover how this discipline can be used as an educational instrument and strengthener for cross-curricolar learning at all scholastic levels.
Educational robotics allows to build and program interactive machines, integrating different subjects (mathematics, science, technology, computer science, …) and offering students the opportunity to walk through all the different phases (introduction, design, construction, discussion and report). During an educational robotics activity the students, guided by the teacher, actively work in groups in which they are involved in problem-solving activities, facilitating their sense of responsibility, their motivation and their critical and creative thinking during their pursuing of preset goals.
Educational robotics kits such as Blue-Bot, Dash & Dot, the humanoid robot Nao and LEGO Education solutions allow to experiment this new learning approach, not only In the scientific field but also on the humanistic and creative ones.
