Abstract

This paper presents several examples of students’ (12–17 y.o.) results of successful long-term iterative educational process in digital fabrication laboratory environment united by the idea of building original robotic solutions to annually changing competition tasks. Presented examples demonstrate that within educational robotics domain finding long-term uniting ideas to bring education to the next level of implementation is possible and relatively easy. Being a complex multidisciplinary subject, educational robotics has big potential to play one of the important roles in the ongoing transformations in school.
