Objetivos.

Los diferentes objetivos de este encuentro se pueden resumir en:

  • Implicar a las autoridades educativas, a las escuelas, a la Universidad y al mundo de la empresa en la formación de nuestros jóvenes
  • ofrecer a todos aquellos miembros de la comunidad educativa un foro de reflexión en cuanto a los usos educativos de la robótica en la escuela obligatoria.
  • Ofrecer a los estudiantes un espacio abierto donde poder intercambiar sus “experiencias roboticas”
  • Acercar a la sociedad este tipo de actividades (ya que el encuentro esta abierta a cualquier ciudadano)

Participantes.

  • Grupos de profesor/a-alumnos/as de centros de secundaria y primaria de Navarra. Están invitados una par de grupos Italianos y un grupo Griego.
  • Empresas de robótica.
  • Estudiantes de la universidad.
  • CEIN
  • Comité organizador de la First Lego League (FLL) en Navarra.

Actividades.

1.- Stands de grupos de estudiantes-profesores que muestran sus actividades de robótica educativa.

2.- Stands de Empresas relacionadas con Robótica

European Open Day on Educational Robotics

Date: Tuesday 28 of April 2009 (9h30-13h30 and 15h30-19h00)
Place:
UPNA (El Sario building, Campus de Arrosadia, s/n, Pamplona/Iruña)


Presentation.

Robotics are included in the frame-work of technology, having a great importance and being in expansion in our society. In consequence, we are convinced of the advisability of including Robotics in the Curriculum and developing Robotics literacy in Primary and Secondary Schools.


Furthermore, Robotics offer a great challenge and a huge range of educative possibilities to the Educational Institutions.

Using Robotics in Education allows the development of “learning environments”. The idea is based on Piaget theory of exploring the formal world through active and constructivist style.

Not only does the use of robots facilitate the learning of specific technological skills, but also provides an ideal frame to reach the development of general cognitive competences, as “learning to learn”, learning to take on projects and solving problems, “query based learning” and the learning of linguistic aspects.


The European project TERECOP(http://www.terecop.eu/) seeks to establish a reference frame in teacher training on Constructivism using Robotics as an important tool.

Our partner CEIN (European Center of Innovation in Navarra) has already organized The “First Lego-league” competition, where teams of teachers and students showed their projects and the competences acquired using robots.

Objectives.

We would like:

  • To involve Education authorities. Schools, University, and companies in training students.
  • To offer a forum of reflection about all the possibilities Robotics have in Compulsory Education (Primary and Secondary schools).
  • To offer students an open place where they can exchange their experiences in Robotics.
  • To provide the approach among society and robotics.

Participants.

  • Teacher-student teams of primary and Secondary Schools from Navarra, Italy and Greece.
  • Companies involved with robotics
  • Students from UPNA
  • CEIN
  • Organisers of the First-Lego-league in Navarra

Activities.

  • Stands of teacher-student teams, CEIN-FLL and companies involved with robotics where they show their activities related to the subject.
  • Barbara Demo lecture, expert in Robotics and Education from the University of Torino, Italy.
  • Round table (working session) about the real and possible use of Robotics in education (TERECOP experiences).
  • Robots pilot competition with Lego robots and/or other kinds of robots.
