Roversa Classroom

Welcome to the Roversa™ Classroom - your home for teaching with the Roversa learning ecosystem. Here you’ll find lessons, guides, and classroom tools that connect computer science, AI, and robotics to meaningful, hands-on learning.

Roversa is a modifiable and multilingual educational robot that introduces young learners to sequencing and programming out of the box. Roversa leverages the micro:bit platform to help teachers and students grow in their computer science learning. Roversa can simply be programmed pressing the 4 directional buttons to move in a grid pattern or adapted to do so much more!

Research Behind the Project

Roversa grew out of research in the University of Virginia School of Education and Human Development and is currently the focus of an NSF ITEST project, Supporting the Development of Computer Science through Low-cost, Adaptable Robots for Elementary Classrooms.

Through this research and related pilot implementations, Roversa has been used in classrooms, afterschool programs, professional learning, and research settings to integrate computer science into core subject areas, co-design curriculum with teachers, and study student and teacher outcomes.

Over the past two years, approximately 500 Roversa robots have been deployed, reaching an estimated 5,000+ students and 100+ teachers across dozens of school districts and informal learning partners.
