The 5-Step Plan

Many educational robotics activities involve children with bottom-up approaches and pre-set robot tasks. However, robotics for education can be much more if used in holistic, non-task deterministic ways, like when children develop design concepts for their favorite robots. The 5-step plan offers a simple yet effective structure for this creative process. Researchers as well as educators can use it to introduce many children to robotics, not only the ones interested in becoming engineers or scientists, while at the same time explore the ideas and needs for a wide range of future robotic products and services from a children’s perspective.
