The curricula developed in the ROBOCOMP project were tested in classrooms at the CEIP Rioturbio, CEIP Reconquista and CRA Ría del Eo schools in Spain.
"The impact is particularly noticeable among students with additional needs. Children with learning difficulties were naturally supported by their peers during group activities, where cooperation and mutual support are key. Migrant pupils adapted quickly as the activities were highly visual and guided, which helped to reduce the impact of language barriers. Teachers also reported positive results for students on the autism spectrum, as the robot served as a "social bridge" that facilitated interaction in a non-threatening, structured environment. The presence of the robot provided a shared focus within the activity, which reduced anxiety and built relationships between children."
"The project activities were implemented in several educational contexts. Although the use of Micro:bit is being introduced gradually, the project has already been effectively applied with other educational tools such as Artec components and Otto robots. The most impactful activities have been subject review sessions where the robot transforms learning into collaborative play. Students solve programming tasks that relate to real classroom content, increasing engagement and deepening understanding through gamified, goal-oriented tasks."
