The purpose of the course is to show educators how to use Robotics to create teaching activities in the fields of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).
They will explore the elements of common Robotics Kits (including the Lego WeDo and EV3, and the Arduino platform) together with a multitude of sensors, and the ways Robotics can be exploited to get hands-on learning in the fields of STEAM.
The course provides teachers with a basis for incorporating project-based learning into interdisciplinary technology-driven instruction in K-12 classrooms.
The course will give participants the opportunity to learn how to inspire their students by implementing exciting, yet feasible, problem solving activities that foster creativity and active learning. Essentially, the course covers how to use robotics as an organizer to teach STEAM concepts.
This course is addressed to teachers of either primary or secondary education who want to use robotics to teach STEAM lessons, and to learn how to integrate robot design projects within the K-1 to K-12 curriculum.
It will include outdoor activities as well as field studies. There will be visits to beautiful landscapes on Troodos mountain as well as a day trip to cape Akrotiri and the beautiful beaches of Limassol.
