CALL FOR PAPERS

5th Workshop of Robotics in Education (WRE 2014)
(Part of JCRIS 2014 - Joint Conference on Robotics and Intelligent Systems 2014)

Robotics motivates and inspires people of all ages and education levels. Thus, many researchers have already shown that students get more interested and excited to learn several topics when robotics is involved in the learning process. As a result, the use of robotics on education has been gaining great interest over the last years. WRE is a forum to discuss technical, educational and other aspects of the usage of robotics in education.

The 5th Workshop of Robotics in Education (WRE 2014) will be held in October 2014 jointly with the Joint Conference on Robotics and Intelligent Systems (JCRIS) 2014. More information about JCRIS can be found on the JCRIS 2014 website.

Conference topics of interest are (but not limited to):
  • Robotics at school
  • Robotics teachers formation
  • Robotics competitions
  • Educational robotics platforms
  • Robotics used for informal teaching (extra class)
  • Study cases
  • Methodologies and materials for teaching
  • Web based robotics
  • Educational robotics simulation
  • Robotics in education curricula
  • 10-dollar and other low cost educational robots designs, results and study cases
