Abstract

The paper discusses educational robotics’ potential to contribute to the process of societal transformation caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). An overview of educational robotics’ questions is presented based on the authors’ experience teaching supplementary education programs to K-12 students in digital fabrication environment as well as on several external review papers. A case study is presented to reveal and confirm some of the problems common for such project-oriented creative STEM related activities in supplementary education environment. One of which being inclusion in practical technical studies of different groups of students - a common challenge for the given educational robotics context.
