Project summary

Robotics and programming have become indispensable in today's production standards. Robotics has been taught as elective or part of compulsory education for several years in our four European schools. Across countries we have found in our previous cooperation in other projects and a previous quality sealed KA 1 project on exactly this topic that it is important for students and especially for schoolgirls to see that the robot not only in their own school, but also in other schools and countries is used. Programming and testing, tinkering and testing has great learning effects for the students. As in professional practice in technically oriented occupations, language barriers should not be an obstacle to finding common technical solutions that experience European thought together. We would like to show this with our project, document it and finally prove it in an internationally recognized comparative competition, the World Robot Olympic. In order to survive in the competition, we will give the students different tasks in the transnational meetings to prepare and deepen the topic. At home in the local electives or clubs, solutions will be found to the varied tasks that are posed by each country. It is not only worked with Lego, but also other systems such as Arduino are being tested and build. Documented and publicly accessible to all interested parties, the project will cover the Erasmus walls, local school websites and flyers created by each country.

Final report summary

Robotics and programming have become an integral part of today's production standards. Robotics has been taught as an optional subject or part of compulsory education at our four European schools for several years. Across the borders, we have further expanded our robotics teaching for students and especially for schoolgirls in the last two years and extended it for the competitions of the WRO (World Robotics Olympiade). Programming and testing, handicrafts and testing have great learning effects for the students. As in professional practice in technically oriented professions, language barriers were no obstacle in finding technical solutions and experiencing robotics in the community. The participation in the competition was prepared in teams. We would have liked to prove our skills in an nternationally recognized comparative competition, the WRO, but unfortunately Corona did not allow us to participate. All competitions were cancelled. The students learned to use different tasks in the international teams for preparation and consolidation. In the local electives or clubs the learning contents and materials were passed on to the classmates and colleagues. Not only was Lego used, but also other systems like Arduino were tested and built. Learning materials developed during the project are available on different platforms. The project has been documented and is publications are available to all interested parties. In our school we had the Erasmus Information Walls, local school websites and prepared flyers, which were created by each country itself.
