Creativity and ER :
● Develop creativity in the
design of the robot, its
construction or its
programming.
● Develop innovative and
relevant new solutions to
achieve a robotics
challenge.
● Go beyond the passive
consumption or interactive
use of technologies and
develop a creative approach
to technology (e.g. creative
programming).
Problem solving and ER:
● Develop a positive attitude to
problems as a source for learning
and resilience development.
● Develop an iterative approach and
build prototypes (design thinking)
to solve a complex problem-solving
situation.
● Develop the ability to analyze and
break down the needs of a robotics
challenge.
● Develop the ability to determine a
solution to build, implement it and
evaluate it.
Collaboration and ER :
● Develop collaboration during robotics
team challenges that require
coordination of different members.
● Highlight and engage the diversity of
skills and talents of the team members.
● Develop the learner's' engagement
through cooperation and competition
dynamics.
Critical thinking and ER :
● Understand and be critical
towards existing technologies.
● Reflect on the ethical
challenges of human-robot
interactions.
Computational thinking and ER :
● Learning to program through visual programming
interfaces (e.g. Scratch) supporting the understanding of
computational processes and methods.
● Develop the capacity for abstraction, decomposition and
structuring of data and processes necessary for
programming the robot.
