COLOSSEUM
Colosseum is an Educational project to learn the history of ancient Rome at the time of the gladiators in a fun and innovative way. The project is structured in two steps. The first step uses microbits and various sensors with which we have created a small robot that executes commands through unplugged instructions with RFID technology, the robot moves on a playground to learn the history of ancient Rome. During the game it happens to have to frame QR-Codes with the tablet that provide the player with important information through short AR animations, to get out of dangerous situations and reach the Colosseum, a mix between an escape game and a book game. This game is designed for children from 6 to 10 years of age with varying degrees of difficulty, with the aim of learning the basics of coding, discovering augmented reality and how to program objects using Scratch-like blocks. The second step deals with robotics and mechanics, the scenario is always ancient Rome, this time the goal is to build and program a gladiator robot to challenge our opponents, to be successful it is essential to know who the gladiators were, which weapons they used, what techniques they used.
