Robotic, STEAM and Maker projects in Education. (Barcelona, Spain)
The robots have arrived in the classroom. How can we use them?
In this course, you will discover robots and their applications for the different stages in education. Easy programming software and practice activities to create your own STEAM and Maker projects. You don’t need to have any knowledge. At the end of the course, you will have a basis to start at your center.
Description
What is the content of the course?
There are countless robots on the market. Which one's better for my center? How are they programmed? What kind of projects can I create? What can you get with robotics? How do I evaluate? These and other questions will be answered during the course in a very practical way. As each teacher has his needs but experimenting and sharing we will discover what kind of projects in Science, Technology, Engineer, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) we can create and integrate maker and recycling vision.
Robotic and Coding for Teachers
Globally, girls are not attracted to the world of technology, and boys too. It is often due to lack of referents or lack of work in these areas when they decide what they like. Robotics and programming have evolved, and there are many easy-to-use products that we can integrate into classrooms. Thanks to robotics, we can experience scientific concepts and create our own knowledge. We work with scientific thought, the resolution of challenges, trial and error, management failure, creativity, team work, communication, time management,...It is not the solution for everything, but it is one more tool that interests and involves students and that we can use to evaluate concepts and skills.
