Open Roberta and the School of Robotics: Learning with Robot
Reading time: 0.5 minutesThe aim of Open Roberta is to lower the barriers of programming for kids, teachers, and schools and to set up a open source community. Open Roberta is part of the Fraunhofer Initiative “Roberta – Learning with Robots” (www.roberta-home.de). Open Roberta and School of Robotics are carrying on their almost ten-year collaboration.
School of Robotics is taking care of the Italian version of Open Roberta Tutorial. From October 2016, our collaborator Lorenzo Daidone will be developing Open Roberta for BYOR.
The Roberta initiative aims to engage and motivate girls and boys to take a sustained long-term interest in information technology, technology, and the natural sciences. The Roberta training concept defines “sustained long-term motivation” as simultaneously imparting cognitive knowledge – in this instance from the world of STEM topics – and positive emotions. Only if both are achieved at the same time do students learn – or phrased differently achieve sustainable results.
Open Roberta Lab
Open Roberta Lab is the cloud-based and open source graphical programming environment that is at the core of Open Roberta.
