Exploring STIM in Education

This lecture presents the implementation of the STIM en Route project in a primary school, focusing on a robotic sequence with the Thymio robot named 'Mars Station'. The project aims to enhance students' computational thinking skills through a week-long series of engaging activities, transitioning from offline to online programming exercises. The researcher Susanne Grabowski leads a study to evaluate the effectiveness of these educational sequences. Teachers share their experiences with the project, highlighting the excitement and challenges faced during the implementation, as students eagerly engage with the hands-on activities and demonstrate a natural understanding of the technical concepts introduced.
