AI Robot Engineer course offers a versatile lesson package on engineering and computing. It includes very thorough instructions for educators and learning activities for students.
Programming activities are well tied to real-life situations and lesson plans contain important information from STEM subjects.
The projects are relevant to the modern world and are likely to encourage an interest in the area it teaches.
The course material is more than flexible enough to accommodate group learning. This is useful for teachers who aim to get students interested in the subject matter at hand and offer an encouraging learning environment with their peers.
The pedagogical analysis covers how the product supports learning of the identified skills. The student’s role is assessed by four contrary pair parameters, which are selected to cover the most essential aspects on the use of the product.
The following are the high educational quality aspects in this product.
The versatile lesson package offers a wealth of lessons on engineering and computing, very thorough instructions, and additional materials.
Programming is well tied to real-life situations and lesson plans contain important information from STEM subjects.
The projects are relevant to the modern world and are likely to encourage an interest in the area it teaches.
The supported learning goals are identified by matching the product with several relevant curricula descriptions on this subject area. The soft skills are definitions of learning goals most relevant for the 21st century. They are formed by taking a reference from different definitions of 21st century skills and Finnish curriculum.
