ROBERTA, GIRLS DISCOVER ROBOTS

Roberta-EU addresses the lack of female engineers by raising girls’ interest for technical professions. Roberta-EU uses robotics courses as a creative learning environment to teach knowledge in IT, electrical engineering, and mechanics. The Roberta course concept is especially tailored towards gender related issues, i. e. the didactic approach selects topics and experiments that are more interesting for girls. Roberta Goes to the EU was a European Project funded by the FP 6 Program and on which the School of Robotics served as Associated Partner and National Centre.
