Creating sustained interest in students in STEM using Educational Robotics

8.-12. July 2024

Welcome to the IEEE RAS International Summer School on Educational Robotics!

The aim of the summer school is to develop an easy-to-access robot simulation environment and ready-to-use teaching material for educational robotics in schools. Teachers, lecturers, and university students will work on this goal during a week that will offer keynotes, hands-on sessions, discussions, and a strategy workshop. Dive into topics such as technology, sustainability, accessibility, didactic concepts, and OpenRoberta and take part in material development and in shaping an easy-to-access future of educational robotics.
