PROJECT DATA

The RoboPisces project promotes a powerful transnational collaboration (Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Greece, Malta and Croatia) among international high-level academic institutions and Primary schools, triggering dedicated actions in the field of STEAM and digital skills education, incorporating innovative elements in their development and implementation by means of Educational Robotics (ER). ER creates an attractive learning environment by keeping students interested and motivated with hands-on, fun learning activities.

Teachers of primary schools can participate in training courses to become familiar with the RoboPisces technological and methodological resources, encouraging a new digital attitude in teachers and making them able to organize technological laboratories practice into regular curricular teaching.

RoboPisces aims to create a teaching and learning curriculum based on ER through a constructionist educational approach. The RoboFISH toolkit, which is developed during the project, engages primary school kids, with the purpose to enhance the learning outcomes in STEAM subjects. The RoboPisces project benefits from the considerable experience of all the partners involved in identifying, adopting, implementing and monitoring the ER curriculum for primary school education practices, helping educators to understand and improve their STEAM teaching styles and approaches to meet the emerging challenges of the science for citizens. RoboPisces intends to be in line with the EU effort to address challenges in education and training systems, contributing to the improvement of the quality and efficiency, thus boosting the achievement of the EU benchmark of under-skilled students in STEAM subjects. Moreover, by constructing and programming robots, pupils are encouraged to use their own creative ideas and solutions in their work, thus developing transversal skills like rational thinking, creativity and innovativeness.
