Not just "teaching robotics" but "teaching through robotics"

Abstract

This paper explores strategies for teaching robotics not simply as a subject in its own right, but, using robotics in the teaching environment as an opportunity to stimulate creative thinking and generating an interest in science and technology as creative endeavours. The spirit is very much that espoused by C.P.Snow in his attempts to bridge "the two cultures" i.e. that of the arts on the one hand and that of science and technology on the other. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.
