Bringing Stories to Life: Robotics for Reading Comprehension
🚀 Learn to Gamify Reading with Robotics
This course is designed to help teachers use robotics as a tool to motivate students to read and improve reading comprehension, transforming stories into interactive experiences. Through programming and robotics, students will interpret texts and build robots as robotic puppets, bringing their stories to life.
Description
This course teaches educators how to use robotics and programming as strategies to improve reading comprehension and storytelling. Participants will learn to:
✅ Create interactive reading activities, where robots bring stories to life.
✅ Apply computational thinking and programming to develop interactive storytelling.
✅ Foster creativity, allowing students to design and program their own literary characters.
✅ Integrate different levels of programming, from screen-free computational thinking for younger students to sensor-based programming for older students.
✅ Use AI to create educational materials, generating customized resources for classroom use.
✅ Learn basic robotics, understanding how to program different electronic components.
✅ Turn reading into a gamified experience, motivating students and improving comprehension skills.
The robots used include Cubetto for early childhood education and ARTEC robotics kits for primary students. This course is ideal for language and literature classes
Learning objectives
The goal of this course is to enhance reading comprehension through robotics and programming, providing practical tools to transform reading into
an interactive experience.
By the end of the course, teachers will be able to:
- Design gamified reading activities, using robots to reenact stories.
- Motivate students through interactive challenges with robotics.
- Develop computational thinking, linking it to reading comprehension.
- Learn to program robots and use sensors and electronic components in classroom projects.
- Apply AI to generate educational materials, making it easier to integrate robotics into the curriculum.
- Create interactive narratives and literacy projects with robotics, adapting the content to different educational levels.
- The knowledge gained in this course will allow teachers to implement these projects in their classrooms and enhance reading instruction through innovative technology.
Methodology & assessment
The course follows a hands-on, gamified approach, where teachers will experiment with robotics to transform reading into an interactive process.
✅ Programming and building robots, applied to storytelling and reading comprehension.
✅ Creating materials with artificial intelligence, to enhance reading experiences.
✅ Workshops on robotics and 3D printing, to personalize and adapt robots to each story.
✅ Mixed learning approach: group storytelling analysis and individual robot programming.
✅ Gamification and project-based learning, equipping teachers with strategies to engage students in reading.
