Abstract(s)
Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in
using robots in education. The use of these tangible devices in combination
with problem-based learning activities results in more motivated
students, higher grades and a growing interest in the STEM areas. However,
most educational robotics systems still have some restrictions like
high cost, long setup time, need of installing software in children's computers,
etc. We present a new, Iow-cost, classroom-oriented educational
robotics system that does not require the installation of any software.
It can be used with computers, tablets or smartphones. It also supports
multiple robots and the system can be setup and is ready to be used in
under 5 minutes. The robotics system that will be presented has been
successfully used by two classes of 3rd and 4th graders. Besides improving
mathematical reasoning, the system can be employed as a motivational
tool for any subject.
