چکیده

We summarize, categorize, and analyze the various kinds of educational robotics initiatives in Slovakia and share our experience we have obtained while organizing the contests and preparing non-contest robotics educational activities. We argue that the team-work is highly undervalued in the current school system, and that robotics contests and project work are a very suitable platform to strengthen team-based education. We describe a proposal for a robotics module curriculum for the 1st year of informatics for the secondary grammar school. We shortly describe the tools and platforms of noncontest initiatives that our group is involved in.
