This paper is to report on the practice of school education using robots and verification of its effectiveness held on the subject of “assembly of robots with off-theshelf commodities” which is mainly intended for elementary and middle school pupils. Use of micro robots as teaching material in the classroom gave a great number of pupils more opportunities to touch robots and find fun in robots. In addition, questionnaire surveys conducted on incumbent teachers who attended the lecture at Kogakuin University have proved it very useful to analyze educational robots which meet the needs in the field of education.
