Children Learning From Team Robotics - RoboCup Junior 2000 Educational Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
RoboCup Junior (Jr) is a division of the international RoboCup initiative. It involves children participating in various competitive and cooperative robot challenges. Experience at three international venues shows that these challenges generate great excitement and interest from both children and adults. We question whether there is any educational value in these challenges, and this report presents results of a study we conducted in conjunction with the third international event – RoboCup Jr 2000. Our tentative conclusion is that there is enormous educational value for children involved in team robotics, both academically and in terms of their personal development.
