In our electronics, mechanical and computer science departments we teach robotics as a subject of study; our students study and design automation and data acquisition systems , handling of robotic arms, augmented reality. We use the Arduino board as a basis for the development of projects; we also use other boards or devices and Logo educational robot kit. We also teach the basis of robotics to the students of our Liceo, from Scratch (to the younger students) to Arduino. Next year our school will participate to the national competition organized by our Ministry of Education called “Olimpiadi di Robotica – Robotics Olympic games”; the categories we’ll enrol our devices to are robot dance, sumo robot, football, rescue.
