The official language of this educational blog is Portuguese, but it´s time to have something in English. The main reason it is Cubetto, an educational robot that is available for schools of the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
Firstly, I would like to contextualize my professional activity: i am a primary school teacher and i work in a educational team that supports schools in various educational ICT projects which robotics is also a part. In an exponential bet on exploring the subject of Computer Science in schools, one of the references for this year it is Cubetto.
Schools have the opportunity to request Cubetto and our team can even carry out demonstration activities with the teachers of these schools. Then he can stay in the school (maximum of 3 Cubetto) for 2 or 3 weeks.
One of the advantages of this robot is to develop the programming theme with younger children, especially Preschool. In these ages children still live in an imaginary world and the transversality of Cubetto allows exploring so many different areas.
The schools have shown great interest in exploring this robot and we have more and more requests and demonstrations. We believe that schools are beginning to realize the importance of Computer Science inclusion and the Cubetto will be one of the supports.
We have already some images in our Facebook page - Educatic
By the way, I feel my English is a bit rusty.
