Experiential Learning And Teacher Training Through Designing Robots And Motion Behaviors: A Tiered Approach

This paper considers educational practice in the Technion in which engineering students develop various robots and practice in teaching robotics to school pupils. The students and the pupils collaborate in the experiential learning process which integrates designing, producing and operating robot prototypes with learning engineering concepts. A number of robots built from construction kits through this collaboration are presented. Students' reflections on their learning practices are discussed.
