The Initiative "Roberta - Learning with Robots"

Roberta addresses the lack of engineers by raising girls' and boys' interest in the technical professions. The successful concept of the German project "Roberta" has been adapted in the EU-funded project "Roberta goes EU" to investigate its usability and explore opportunities for its dissemination to other European countries. With the use of standardized robotics kits, Roberta allows a hands-on introduction to technology. In a special learning environment children can try out their ideas for themselves under advice and coaching of certified Roberta course instructors.
