Educational Robotics
Educational robots are innovative learning tools at the European School. They have the potential to initiate far-reaching changes in education. Pepper and NAO easily create an empathetic link with students by their eye-catching appearances and humanoid behaviors. They motivate to learn by attracting students’ attention, draw curiosity and stimulate interest to study.
Robots in classrooms show students that engineering and coding can be fun by making abstract knowledge concrete. Learning with robots enhances creative problem-solving skills and encourages the development of essential communication and interpersonal skills of our students.
