Technology has become a vital ally for educational institutions. In this context, educational robotics has the potential to stimulate different aspects and bring benefits to the learning process.
The resource of educational robotics is gaining more and more space in schools, making teaching more dynamic and innovative. The introduction of the use of robots in the classroom has proven to be a tool to motivate and engage students, in addition to enabling the learning of complex content in a more playful and interactive way. Introducing educational robotics also ensures the inclusion of activities related to the STEAM areas in classes, as this requires theoretical research, raising hypotheses and carrying out experiments.
For Anwar Hachouche, CEO of electrogate, a company in the field of marketing electronic components and didactic kits, the advantages of educational robotics are diverse. “One of the main ones is to help develop skills that are important for the students’ future, such as critical thinking and creativity”, he comments. “Such competences, when worked continuously, allow the student to express themselves creatively and to use their imagination in an active way, aiming to find solutions to the most varied problems”.
In addition, educational robotics can also help encourage teamwork, as many projects require students to work together to build and program robots, which can help them develop communication, collaboration, and leadership skills.
The CEO of Eletrogate points out that “the main uses for educational robotics in the school environment are the creation of robots that can perform tasks, games and interactive activities to teach programming concepts and projects, in order to be used to teach electronics and physics , broadening the students’ view on the subject”.
In order for this type of robotics to be implemented in a didactic way for students, there are several platforms available on the market. Anwar highlights Arduino as one of these, as this tool is compatible with several modules and uses a programming language that is relatively easy to learn. For the CEO, learning programming guarantees the student the opportunity to develop his creativity by setting up his own project.
The Arduino platform offers cost-effectiveness, modules and an active community. This means that there are many resources available on the internet for those who want to learn to program with Arduino boards, in addition to many modules that can be used in robotics projects. Therefore, Arduino can be one of the most suitable platforms for anyone looking for a solution for educational robotics projects.
It is also important to emphasize the relevance of learning programming concepts in the context of educational robotics, which stems from the fact that structured and methodical reasoning is essential for the development of systems of this type. “Programming is an increasingly valued skill in the job market, as technology has been increasingly incorporated into the professional environment, and learning to program from an early age can be an important differentiator for students in the future”, adds Anwar.
In addition, for the entrepreneur, even if the student does not necessarily follow a career related to programming or robotics, the skills developed in this learning can help to form more flexible, dynamic and communicative professionals, with beneficial qualities in any area of activity.
Such qualities, points out the specialist, are also valuable in the personal life of the student, who will not only be able to deal better with adversities, but also becomes more inquisitive and able to understand the technologies he uses.
