This book includes papers presented at the International Conference Educational Robotics in the Maker Era EDUROBOTICS 2020, Online, February 2021.
The contributions cover a variety of topics useful for teacher education and for designing learning by making activities for children and youth, with an emphasis on modern low-cost technologies (including block-based programming environments, Do-It-Yourself electronics, 3D printed artifacts, the use of intelligent distributed systems, the IoT technology, and gamification) in formal and informal education settings.
This collection of contributions (17 chapters and 2 short papers) provides researchers and practitioners the latest advances in educational robotics in a broader sense focusing on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education. Teachers and educators at any school level can find insights and inspirations into how educational robotics can promote technological interest and 21st-century skills: creativity, critical thinking, team working, and problem-solving with special emphasis on new emerging making technologies.

Focuses on current learning and training needs in robotics from pre-school age to universities and on the development of a sustainable framework to promote education in robotics and with robotics including curricula and resources for school & higher education that will support the development of the 21st-century skills for youth
