Robotics in Interdisciplinary Education

The basic idea of the project is to popularize the active use of Robotics&Coding skills. We are now living and learning in a technology rich world. It is widely recognized that 21st century learners need to be technologically fluent, to develop essential skills to live, work and operate in the learning environments of today. Technology enhanced learning remains high on European agendas, embedded throughout Europe 2020, the EU growth strategy for 2010-20. Indeed, the success of Europe 2020 is considered to be dependent on the strategic and effective use of ICT. Learning to code develops problem solving and computational thinking skills. The logic that the students use when programming robotics prepares them for real world process of problem solving. According to latest PISA results, some European countries have poor problem solving and interpretation skills which shows us the need to improve these skills. Computer coding helps students learn how to use and explain their logic because coding involves making choices. This project,"Robotics&Coding means Developing", enables the students to acquire 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning, interpretation,interrogative questioning, creativity, curiosity, imagination, innovation, personal expression, self-discipline, adaptability, initiative, teamwork, collaboration and cooperation. Robotics at school increases students' involvement in the activities because hands-on learning is fun learning. Additionally, as technology becomes an ever more important part of our lives, an increasing number of jobs are available that involve writing code and using robotics, so the project aims to prepare the students for future jobs. Learning robotics and computing at a young age can also help encourage more girls to become interested in this field. If girls aren't exposed early to science and technology then they may quickly succumb to stereotypes that those fields aren't appropriate for girls. The girls may think it’s a masculine thing. Robotics education provides a real computer science experience for girls and prepares them for the future careers. It's extremely important to increase participation of women in labour market.
