The objective of "Ready-Set-Robot" is to create greater awareness among young people, parents and society in general about the importance of learning STEM. The future will be shaped by engineers and programmers that create new values. For delivering theis messages, we will take examples of teams of students from Estonia, Swedish, Finnish and Latviann schools and create motivational and educational videos about their work in robotics and project based learning. The results of this project are intended to have broader use. We have documented the results of First Lego League competitions to use as inspirational instructional video. We have also created instructional videos on how to film using mobile devices, how to film robot projects and how to interview teachers. This is complimented by a methodology handbook and framework for teachers explaining the pedagogical value of video documentation. |
