Robots in aquatic environments to promote STEM and environmental awareness.

The RobotAquaria aims are to: Explore basic sciences behind climate change in connection with the marine environment; Develop pedagogical approaches and tools that can help teachers to address the climate crisis and environmental sustainability in their classrooms; Create a robotics aquarium to integrate student thinking about the climate crisis into classroom activities; Boost teachers’ competence and confidence to use Educational Robotics in the classroom; Enhance the uptake of Education.

The partnership will implement an active eLearning space for boosting the professional development of educators for enanche their support at their school communities and students. Teachers will be trained (implementations, LTTA, e-learning toolkit, Guidelines for educators) on how to implement the Marine Robotics curriculum, build the RoboAquaria, and teach young students’ STEM and green skills through Educational Robotics. A set of examples, case studies and testimonials will be produced.

Project outcomes are improved capacity of primary and secondary school teachers, leaders and staff to: implement pedagogical approaches and tools to address the climate crisis and environmental sustainability in the classrooms; implement an action plan for the implementation of Educational Robotics to develop STEM and green skills improve quality of primary and secondary school education, in terms of sustainability awareness, development of STEM skills and digital capacities of learners.
