Robotics is the study of physics, math and programming through play
For 21st-century children, it is an intellectual outlet after school
Robot - The next step after LEGO construction. The child creates devices with a motor, sensors and controllers He does not just create a robot, but also makes it move, react to movements and to obstacles.
The child develops: spatial thinking, fine motor skills, creativity and becomes interested in the laws of physics, geometry and math.
In France and Australia, robotics is being introduced into the school curriculum. Why?
Opinion of foreign scientists
We have introduced robotics into the school program in Australia. Robotics is the perfect vehicle for learning:
Mathematics (three-dimensional space and geometry) Scientific theory (especially physics) Design and Technology (electronics, sensors, actuators) Computer science (programming)
Working with robots fosters creative problem solving
Students stop being passive learners and start actively learning: they become proactive, independent, and their learning time decreases dramatically, i.e. they learn faster. It stimulates the development of basic communication and interpersonal skills. The ability to collaborate and communicate complex ideas to fellow students or colleagues is an important skill that is seen as an important component for today's employers. The use of robots unknowingly introduces students to possible careers they never considered. Engineering laws, electricity, mechanics, engineering, technology, and chemistry and finally programming skill. All of these are needed to create a project in robotics
Robotics is becoming very important in French education. Next year, there will be 4 new technology courses offered in secondary schools, 3 of them: robotics, home automation and communication. All French students will now study robotics Secondary school engineering courses will also change and focus on robotics.
