RoboCards: A Tool to Support the Facilitation of Robotics Camps for Beginners

The facilitation of coding camps is complicated by the fact that these events usually attract large groups of participants, having different backgrounds, ages, needs, and cultural characteristics. Moreover, facilitators typically do not know each participant's learning style and needs. This work describes the RoboCards, a set of cards to solve an introductory robotics exercise that we have designed to support the facilitation of robotics camps for beginners (aged 6 to 12). Moreover, this work reports the first observations that we have collected while facilitating our robotics camps using this tool and sheds light on future work.
