Robotics is a good way to get students interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects. This paper presents a robotics module that was developed to introduce elementary school students to some aspects of Engineering - namely Electrical and Computer Engineering. The paper describes a robotics module that was developed for use at an after-school program. The description includes robotics kits used, exercises, and the State of Georgia standards that were addressed.

The subject of robotics in education has a significant impact on the development of skills of students. Studying the main factors motivating robotics to participate in competitions, project competitions, and win prizes is always relevant. There are many competitions in robotics. In particular, one of the competitions for developing robotics in education is WRO. However, it is essential to know and research several factors that can lead to a place in a competition and support young coaches and participants. Higher education institutions that already have courses in educational robotics can benefit from the proposed approach, which allows them to develop new projects with robotics elements.

The paper describes the teaching experience gathered along four years, including the choices of robotics platform, simulator, typical experiments and projects we have conducted for students. We also discuss our efforts and plans to develop a hands-on laboratory course for the education in Robotics and Automation. The course is designed to the multidisciplinary and can be offered for engineering and non-engineering students. In order to offer hands-on experience in operating the robots and design of manufacturing works cells, a fully-equipped robotics laboratory has been established to provide basic as well as advanced experiments, to address the needs of students at different education levels.

In this paper we formulate some thoughts about use of robotics in education, in particular at college and university level. We argue that, although robotics is used in many universities and courses, its advantages are not necessarily as obvious as we would like to believe. There is an apparent need for analysis that would provide more convincing data supporting use of robotics for educational purposes.

This paper shows an approach to teaching the fundamentals of computer science on basic education through educational robotics. The approach was evaluated with students from the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades of elementary school. Results show better performance among participants who received stimuli from robotics.

Robotics is a fun and engaging way in which students can be inspired to study and pursue careers in engineering. This paper is a survey on available resources that can be used at middle school, high school, and college levels. These resources include robotics kits, as well as information on other robotics educational materials, such as curricula, that are available online. The different resources are compared, and suggestions are given as to which education levels these resources can be used.

Robotics and computational thought are ideal tools for developing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) pedagogy. Throughout this paper a modular and adaptive course is presented, the main objective of which is to make known simple and economic tools of educational robotics. This course is aimed at those who want to discover the possibilities of educational robotics in the context of the introduction to robotics. Today, robotics training tools are raised with the aim of promoting innovation and motivation of students during the learning process. Robots are becoming more and more common in our daily lives; therefore, it is important to integrate robots into all levels of our society. The course is designed to work with the Scratch, Crumble and Arduino tools as STEM enhancers. Using Scratch, interactive stories, games and animations can be programmed. Scratch helps young people to acquire and improve skills such as think creatively, think systematically, and work collaboratively. Scratch is a project of MIT Media Lab's Lifelong Kindergarten Group. It is offered free of charge. On the other hand, Crumble is an easy-to-use programmable controller. Its programming interface uses a block programming language based on Scratch that makes it easy for children from 10 years old to use it. In addition, the hardware elements associated with Crumble are very intuitive and easy to connect. Last, but not least, Arduino is an open source electronic platform based on hardware and software that is easy to use. It is a platform that incorporates a simple microcontroller and an interface development environment to create the applications to be downloaded on the board. The course offers a three-tiered journey through three levels with each of the three tools. It consists of a total of 9 modules. This course has a very practical approach. A project-based pedagogical methodology is used. Experiments are promoted, where trial and error are part of learning and self-discovery. The student learns to have more autonomy and responsibility. Knowledge is acquired in different disciplines. It develops: motor skills (scale mobility in the hands), group skills, allowing people to socialize, creative abilities, and learning in a fun way. The operational details, materials used and examples of activities for some modules are also presented with the expectation that all teachers will be able to adapt these activities in their class. In addition, results are included from several groups of students who have already completed some modules. Despite not having a large number of students, the experience provided results that may be useful for other teachers to promote a course with similar or equal content for more results. The results of this work show that it is important to combine theory and practice to include fun tasks intertwined with the challenges of applying theory to problem solving.

Over the past two decades we have tried various training modalities to attract students to engineering/robotics. Robotics covers a multitude of topics. That's why robotics training is not easy. This paper presents how we have tried through competitions to teach robotics to our students. It also presents activities implemented to motivate students and attract high school students to engineering/robotics. The opinions of high school students who participated in robotics competitions will also be presented in the paper.
