Technical database on robotics-based educational platforms for K-12 students

Abstract

Educational robotics has had an increasing growth in the past years, mainly in teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). These robotics-based learning methods have since gone from home to be used every day in school learning activities. There still is, however, a big moat from the available resources and the effective use of these tools by teachers in K-12 schools. This study aims to gather in a single location a dataset of most available educational robotic platforms and related learning materials. The goal is to have this knowledge open, freely accessible and editable by manufactures and learning resources providers, helping to increase the adoption of educational robotics in STEAM education. © 2018 IEEE.
