In schools and universities in Austria and Slovakia, there is currently a lack of interest and a lack of well-trained teachers in the MINT/STEM subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology).
This creates a shortage in the labor market, although there is an increasing demand for STEM staff throughout the region.
Robotics in education has proven to be a valuable tool for practical learning, not only for robotics itself but also more generally for STEM topics. RoboCoop is a unique multidisciplinary project, which will use the potential of robotics in cross-border educational activities to raise interest in STEM topics, with a focus on female students.

Projektergebnisse:

• 38 robotics workshops for students and 1 introduction for teachers
• 2 international scientific robotics conferences with workshops for students (ECER)
• Robotics League – Robot design and programming competition for school classes
• Lego Mindstorms equipment for pilot schools worth €2,700
• RoboCoop educational platform with 30 teaching settings
• Handbook with recommendations for digital literacy policymaking
