EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS: A NEW ARENA IN CLASSROOM TEACHING

Robotics activities give abundant educational opportunities, but its impact and
reach have defined by the conventional way in which it has been introduced. While
projects including cars, vehicles and mobile robots are evidently appealing to young
people, many other young people do not become fully engaged in these types of
projects where development and usage of Educational Robotics (ER) are involved.
By offering alternate pathways into robotics that can gain student's attention, we
have a chance to engage a wider and more different people in new learning
experiences. This paper explores approaches for exposing students to robotic
technologies and ideas and explains the significance of implementing multiple ways
into robotics, to ensure that there are entry points to engage people with diverse
interests and learning styles
