Abstract

The integration of robotics in secondary education has been a growing trend in recent years. Robotics kits have become a valuable tool for teaching physics and math concepts in a more hands-on and visually appealing way for students. Robotics kits allow students to build and program robots to perform specific tasks. This gives them the opportunity to apply the theoretical concepts they have learned in class in a practical and tangible context. Additionally, students can experiment with different designs and programs to see how they affect the robot's behavior. The integration of robotics in secondary education can also help students develop important skills, such as problem solving, creativity, and collaboration. Working as a team to build and program a robot can be an enriching and motivating experience for students. In the area of ​​physics, robotics kits can be used to teach concepts like kinematics, dynamics, and energy. Students can build robots that simulate the movement of objects in different situations and see how the robot's behavior changes based on the parameters they have programmed. In the area of ​​mathematics, robotics kits can be used to teach concepts such as geometry, trigonometry, and linear programming. Students can build robots that perform complex mathematical calculations and see how these concepts apply in a practical context. In summary, the integration of robotics in secondary education can be a valuable tool to teach physics and mathematics concepts in a more practical and visually appealing way for students. Plus, it can help develop important skills like problem solving, creativity, and collaboration.
