Abstract

Building on the success of the first North-South cross-continental collaborative educational robotics mission held in November 2015 [1], this paper presents a practical model for scaling the event up into a program for developing countries, particularly those of Africa, where the first edition took place. Past participants in Remote Rescue Thymio II (R2T2) missions, students and educators alike, have shared qualitative observations about its positive educational impact, notably in the areas of Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking, Creative problem solving, Computational thinking, and Cross-cultural exchange. The proposed framework for delivering R2T2 missions has been adapted to Africa, being specifically designed to tackle the critical challenges of internet connectivity, teacher training and program costs. In so doing, it strives to pave the way for collaboration with partners in African educational ecosystems and North-South funding bodies that share the vision of making collaborative STEM education more accessible and attractive to teachers and schoolchildren around the world.

通过协作空间机器人任务发展STEM和团队合作技能
在2015年11月举行的第一次南北跨大陆合作教育机器人任务成功的基础上[1],本文提出了一个实用的模型,将该活动扩大到发展中国家的计划,特别是非洲国家,第一版在那里举行。过去参与远程救援Thymio II (R2T2)任务的学生和教育工作者都对其积极的教育影响进行了定性观察,特别是在协作、沟通、批判性思维、创造性解决问题、计算思维和跨文化交流等领域。交付R2T2任务的拟议框架已适用于非洲,专门用于解决互联网连接、教师培训和项目成本等关键挑战。在此过程中,它努力为与非洲教育生态系统中的合作伙伴和南北供资机构的合作铺平道路,这些机构的共同愿景是使STEM协作教育对世界各地的教师和学童更具可及性和吸引力。
