Robotics spur interest in STEM subjects in school
Robotics is not only for nerds. Tens of thousands of school children in Europe, who might have no interest in technical subjects, change their mind.
Robots can do what no educator or teacher was able to do: to get them motivated to learn not only the basics of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), but also to go on for an exploratory, self-motivated learning path, to learn how to learn without a teacher.
