Robotics in Technology Education

Abstract

Robotics is one of the most powerful domains in TE. Teaching robotics has to consider the fast loop of innovation and may vary between simple algorithms in primary classes and will not end with the critical engagement with the impact assessment of designing and building robots for the needs of the future world. It connects past, present, and future in many different strands and shows all children the connection between hard- and software. It also helps them to understand and to take part or have insight(s) in this broad field of automation. Despite this it is to take care between general and vocational education.
