This proceedings book comprises the latest achievements in research and development in educational robotics presented at the 11th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE), which was carried out as a purely virtual conference from September 30 to October 2, 2020. Researchers and educators will find valuable methodologies and tools for robotics in education that encourage learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) through the design, creation and programming of tangible artifacts for creating personally meaningful objects and addressing real-world societal needs. This also involves the introduction of technologies ranging from robotics platforms to programming environments and languages. Evaluation results prove the impact of robotics on the students' interests and competence development. The presented approaches cover the whole educative range from elementary school to university in both formal as well as informal settings.

This book comprises the latest achievements in research and development in educational robotics presented at the 13th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE), which was carried out as a purely virtual conference from April 27 to 28, 2022. Researchers and educators will find valuable methodologies, experiences, and tools for robotics in education that encourage learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) through the design, creation, and programming of robots addressing real-world societal needs.

This proceedings volume highlights the latest achievements in research and development in educational robotics, which were presented at the 8th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE 2017) in Sofia, Bulgaria, from April 26 to 28, 2017. The content will appeal to both researchers and educators interested in methodologies for teaching robotics that confront learners with science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) through the design, creation and programming of tangible artifacts, giving them the chance to create personally meaningful objects and address real-world societal needs. This also involves the introduction of technologies ranging from robotics controllers to virtual environments. In addition, the book presents evaluation results regarding the impact of robotics on students' interests and competence development. The approaches discussed cover the whole educational range, from elementary school to the university level, in both formal as well as informal settings.

This proceedings volume showcases the latest achievements in research and development in Educational Robotics presented at the 7th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE) held in Vienna, Austria, during April 14-15, 2016. The book offers a range of methodologies for teaching robotics and presents various educational robotics curricula. It includes dedicated chapters for the design and analysis of learning environments as well as evaluation means for measuring the impact of robotics on the students' learning success. Moreover, the book presents interesting programming approaches as well as new applications, the latest tools, systems and components for using robotics. The presented applications cover the whole educative range, from elementary school to high school, college, university and beyond, for continuing education and possibly outreach and workforce development. The book provides a framework involving two complementary kinds of contributions: on the one hand on technical aspects and on the other hand on matters of didactic.

This book provides an overview of Educational Robotics and includes information that reflects the current status of the field, research activity, experiences, and new tools. It compiles the contributions presented at the 14th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE2023). Beyond insights into theoretical aspects, practical projects and syllabus activities exemplify the concepts and provide implementation ideas, which span the whole educational system from kindergarten to the university level. The relevance to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is highlighted by teaching the topics in a unified framework. The book constitutes a valuable resource for educators, researchers, scientists, and engineers interested in robotics. It covers topics including school teaching curricula, educational methodologies and pedagogy, projects, competitions, hardware, simulations, programming, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in education.
