Using Robotics in the Classroom
A human-like robot has been used to teach students in a small South Australian school how to code while also helping them learn their local Aboriginal language. The school wanted to support its students to connect with the heritage of the Narungga people, in partnership with their local Aboriginal community. We were joined by Dr Christina Chalmers, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Queensland University of Technology to discuss how robotics can improve student engagement and learning in STEM subjects.
