I consider this an important topic because educational robotics turns abstract ideas into concrete, hands-on experiences that build real understanding and metacognitive skills. Seeing the robot as a tool for thinking means it can support not only STEM but also other subjects, offering a versatile context for interdisciplinary learning. Moreover, bringing ER into the classroom promotes inclusion by challenging gender stereotypes and showing that robotics is truly “for everyone,” helping all students recognize and develop their potential.
