Greece 2nd GEL Kalymnou – Robotics
Students of the 2nd daily high school of Kalymnos made this app with the humanoid robot NAO. NAO recognises in the photos (NAOmarks) the kind of the sponge and tells some general information about them.
The Emergence of Robotics in Education Education World
The learning theory of constructionism asserts that people construct mental models to understand the world around them, and that this can be achieved through activities like building, tinkering, playing with components of machines and other systems, and watching how they interact. Seymore Papert introduced this theory in the early 1980’s, and around that time, the first educational robotics program emerged, called LOGO, which he also developed. LOGO is actually a programming language he developed that was used to control robot “turtles”—to move them forward and backward a specified distance, turn right or left a specified degree, drop a pen, and draw.
