An educational robotics laboratory provides the most favourable conditions for custom-tailored didactics that allow students and even more so students with learning disabilities to reach objectives and scholastic success. This is the challenge launched by Project Building Wings – Inclusion of Children with Communication Disabilities through Educational Robotics. The project is financed by the Regione Lazio.
“Building Wings” will involve at least three classes from the Istituto comprensivo Viale dei Consoliin Rome’s Tuscolano neighbourhood. Thanks to the cooperative work style based on the constructivist and inclusive methodology of learning by doing, even the most fragile students will be able to experiment solutions together with their classmates. The students will be coordinated by an educational robotics expert to exchange ideas and opinions and test and verify their suppositions.
Class 4A at the Istituto comprensivo Viale dei Consoli has already attended the first lesson and has discovered the WeDo Construction Kit and how it can be used to create and programme simple Lego models connected to a computer. One can even construct simple animals: a fierce lion, a hungry alligator or a flying bird!
Francesca Del Duca [francesca_fmd] interviews two nine year old students in Class 4A due alunni della IV A who explain what it means to programme a robot.
