ROBOTICS IS FUN!
It’s fun for kids: they can design their own robots and run races between them to develop positive competitiveness.
CREATIVE THINKING
Few areas of knowledge simultaneously integrate creativity and pleasure. Studies have shown that teaching robotics can do both. In fact, students like to participate in activities in which they have full control, which is possible with teaching robotics. And when learners are able to do cool things, they want to do more.
Robots are a great way to experience learning by trial and error. Making mistakes and going back to work to see your robot act as desired is one of the educational virtues of programmable robots. Since the robot does not wait for the instructor’s consent to function well or poorly, the student is therefore forced to see for himself that his program is wrong. He will thus learn to identify the error responsible for the dysfunction and to remedy it by imagining a satisfactory solution. Because working with robots always aims to find a solution for the program to work and involves errors that can be corrected by the keyboard. And when it comes to programming, there is not just one solution to achieve this goal, but several that the student can enjoy exploring.
