1. Halloween Educational Robotics

Abstract

Today's society is facing new challenges and opportunities that demand professional profiles specialized in problem solving, with the ability to innovate and exploit the possibilities offered by information and communication technologies (ICTs). Far from being a novelty, the term STEM was coined in the mid-1990s. From then until now, there are a multitude of initiatives focusing on working STEM education with students. In recent years, the use of the arts as an enhancer of the educational experience has been incorporated into STEM education. There has also been a focus on involving the student in the educational process. Despite this, few experiences have been detected in which parents are involved in the educational process. Throughout this work, it is shown the pilot experience which has been developed to motivate parents to be part of the learning process in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) subjects.

Abstract

Abstract: We present an activity framed within the European Robotics Week event. Robotics and computational practice are ideal tools for developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogy. A modular and adaptive hands‐on workshop is described in detail. The workshop is based on multiplatform educational robotics content as a first step into the robotics world. Three educational tools are used to introduce examples of robotics applications. The operational details, materials, and examples of activities for selected modules are presented with the expectation that all teachers can adapt these activities to their classes. Despite the small number of students, the experience delivered results that might be useful for other instructors to promote workshops with similar or identical content to generate further benefits. This study demonstrates that it is important to combine theory and practice and include fun tasks that intertwine the challenges of applying theory to problem solving. Furthermore, the results show how the same content can be deployed using three different robotics education tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In a technological society, as the present, teachers and educators should use all the tools at its disposal to extend education beyond the physical classroom to the borders of a laboratory. With that goal three years ago started a research project whose main idea established researching and finding a system that would use easily a robotics laboratory, both remotely and in classroom. Since the philosophy of this project was to have as easiest as possible the installation and start-up of remote robotic laboratories, this work has focused on finding those existing alternatives within the free software and open hardware, and to integrate them into the system whenever has been possible, or, to develop specific tools, always using the philosophy of free software and open hardware. The aforementioned easy installation of robotics laboratories comes from the effort to disseminate knowledge not only from an academic level, but through schools, high schools, and businesses or even from individuals themselves whose have robotics as a hobby. Not everyone involved in education have knowledge of electronics, web development, communications, but several of them have knowledge about robotics and many want to help others to acquire such skills in real time using their robotics equipment through the provision of them as laboratories. But at the same time the robotic equipment must maintain its capacity and functionality for use in a classroom laboratory if necessary. For this, with SiLaRR, the intrusion into systems of the robotic equipment has been reduced to the minimum. With that idea in mind it has been developed this system. As much as possible, the control and interaction with the robotic equipment has been made using low cost hardware or, directly, via software. Efficiency, reuse, flexibility and scalability have been the main features of this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
