The Fondazione Mondo Digitale’s coaches and robotic kits are part of Project “Programme a Robot!” promoted by the Istituto tecnico M. Buonarroti in Frascati (Roma), as part of an original school-work programme.
The project is coordinated by computer science teacher Paola Faggiani. “Educational Robotics is an important part of every student’s learning process. Learning to programme a robot helps to develop not only technological and mathematical skills and abilities, but also problem-solving, creativity and group work skills. It is a process that allows young men and women to build their own future through a new approach to various disciplines.”
Project objectives include:
- Behaviour
- Motivation
- Socialisation
- Subject-based knowledge
- Methodological skills
- Tool skills
- Professional skills
- Personal enrichment
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale provides expert robotics coaches that can help teachers with their didactic activities, including robot development kits.
