Project Azbot-1C

Objetivo | Goal

This project aims to create the low-cost open-source robot to be used in elementary schools of the Azores (ages 6-12).

Descrição | Overview

This project is in collaboration with a doctoral project at University of Lisbon and it'll be used as part of a research to evaluate the use of the robot to learn mathematical concepts. The steps are described bellow.

  • Step 1: Building the robot.

  • Step 2: Testing the robot.

  • Step 3: Using the robot in schools with instructions to assemble and to use its interface to program the robot.

  • Step 4: Create a specific IDE with blockly programming language.
