Innovative Uses of Social Educational Robotics to Broaden Student Participation in STEAM

• In Event: D&D Showcase- Innovative Uses of Social Educational Robotics to Broaden Student Participation in STEAM

Short Description

Educational robotics is a popular tool for introducing programming to novices. Although research on educational robotics is growing, most of studies used a version of LEGO robotics, which limits our understanding of how other types of robots can be used in education. This presentation will share several prototypes of custom-built social robots that were developed in Advanced Telerobotics Research Lab and how these robots can be integrated into Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM).
