Robotics in education has been gaining attention from teachers and researchers in education. The use of robotics in education allows teachers to combine four disciplines, namely science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), to promote student learning simultaneously. With educational robotics, teachers can make science and mathematics concepts more concrete in a real-world context by combining technology and engineering altogether. This paper explores the designing process of educational robotics to promote STEM learning. Teachers were involved in designing and constructing robots. The “Big Ideas” exploration became an essential step to gather any insights from teachers on how robotics are built.
