Educational Robotics with Scratch 2.0 (Coding)

The program Educational Robotics with Scratch 2.0 is designed for students of the upper classes of the elementary school and allows them to acquire knowledge about Technology and Engineering through teamwork by building robotic structures, in an unforgettable experience.

Each robotic structure has functional autonomy, designed and implemented using WeDo 2.0 sensors and with the help of Scratch 2.0 special programming scripts that students can easily compile with the drag & drop method while learning to create complex algorithms. All students are guided by specially designed worksheets, which compliment and explain the constructions.

The program is ideal for cultivating students’ interest in Technology and Science by simultaneously providing them with language, social and teamwork skills to address manufacturing challenges, thus releasing their creative forces in building robust, intelligent and autonomous robots.

By following the program, students are fully prepared to take part in the annual Educational Robotics Competitions especially for primary school students.

    Thank you for sharing,
    Educational robotics is considered as an element of polytechnic orientation of the academic process. The possibility of its use as a special educational technology in classes on subjects of science and math cycle is substantiated. Three areas of professional work of the teacher are distinguished in the structure of the technology: robotics as an object of study, as a tool of cognition and as a means of teaching, development and upbringing of students. The paper reveals the activity of the teacher in each direction. The results of teaching experience of the authors related to the application of this technology in teaching physics are presented.
