RoboCupJunior Primer: Expanding Educational Robotics

AAAI Conferences

Teams of University have mentored middle and high school students primary and secondary school students participate in one of from Durham Public Schools as part of the Duke three competitions: rescue, dance, or soccer. Rescue teams RoboCupJunior program, a project-oriented, team-based build and program a robot capable of navigating a course academic enrichment program. The objective of the while identifying and rescuing victims by following lines program is to foster interest and competence in computing, and responding to color cues. Dance teams choreograph a science, and mathematics, while simultaneously dance routine using robots they build and decorate, developing problem-solving skills, enabling creative costumes they prepare, and music they select. Soccer teams thinking and design, and providing a domain for build and program two robots, which then face off against application of scientific concepts. Robotics is a popular other teams' robots in a soccer match. Winners of regional domain for attracting students to computing and competitions are eligible to attend the annual RoboCup engineering (Sklar, Parsons 2002) and can be used in World Finals, held at various locations around the globe.
