Experiences with educational robotic

Abstract

Educational Robotics has come to prominence in recent years because it allows to articulate a more playful and interactive teaching. It works the abstract in concrete basis, and this way stands as a new methodology of teaching and learning. Therefore, this article seeks to present educational initiatives that use robotics in elementary schools, located in western Santa Catarina and northern Rio Grande do Sul. For that, we used the Lego Mindstorms NXT robotic kit. As result, it was found that the technology enables the insertion, integration, interaction, discussion and cooperation between students, teachers and employees, which somehow permeates individual and collective development, providing opportunities for improvements in the educational processes.
