Robotics in Education

Robotics in Education (R-in-E) tries to strengthen the learning skills of future engineers and scientists by means of robot-based projects. Both in school and in college, presenting robots in the classroom will give students a more interesting (and fun) vision of science and engineering, and they will be able to observe directly the practical application of theoretical concepts in the fields of mathematics and technology. R-in-E is inclusive in nature, which can lead students to orient their university studies in fields related to the STEM subjects. From the point of view of University, robot-based projects put together, since their inception, key competences related to mechatronics. This will help students deepen their knowledge, and it will also help engineers and scientists of the 21st century to finish their studies. One could also point out that R-in-E furthers and strengthens both in curricular and in extracurricular activities values such as creativity, innovation, support, cooperation and teamwork. Clearly, these values must be promoted in our society. “R-in-E” puts together actors from disparate ecosystems: on the one hand, experts and researchers in education, teachers and professors, cultural entertainers in public and private institutions, and on the
