Educational Robotics Initiatives in Slovakia
نویسندگان
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.
