Once again this year, as part of Science4All, students had the chance to get hands-on with robotics and discover how technology can become a tool for learning at the Department of Engineering Information.
During the workshop they explored what a robot is, how to program it, and how sensors work, and then put their knowledge into practice by building a robot car able to follow a black line and move autonomously.
The activities showed teachers how robotics can serve as a bridge across disciplines, supporting both subject knowledge and 21st-century skills.
I supported both students and teachers throughout the workshop — helping the former in experimenting with their robot cars and the latter in reflecting on how robotics can be meaningfully connected to curricular learning.
More than just programming, the workshop was an opportunity to see how robots can inspire curiosity and collaboration, helping students to connect knowledge with real-world challenges.
