The idea of the project was to develop knowledge and teaching of robotics and coding in the schools of Imatra and St. Petersburg. The project aimed to improve the capabilities of the participating schools to create technological cooperation with other educational institutions. Through the activities organized in the project, effort was made to develop problem-solving skills of the students and teachers related to programming, coding and technology.
The main target groups were students from 6th to 9th classes of primary education and their teachers. Besides the main target groups, younger students were also involved in project actions. The project included St. Petersburg school number 622 as a project partner. Due to the war in Ukraine, the cooperation ended in March 2022. After that project’s measures were continued only in Finland.
During the project, workshops and seminars were organized, where students built robots and programmed their functions. Robotic clubs for students were also organized throughout the project. Nesttec project strengthened the robotics skills of the participating schools. In the future, strengthened expertise in robotics and coding will enable more fruitful cooperation with other educational institutions. The Nesttec project has also improved students’ readiness for further studies.
Coding, programming and technological know-how are the skills of the future. Through the activities of the project, the competence of the participating teachers and students in these fields has been strengthened. In the project, robotic kits and additional parts have been acquired for schools, which has made it possible to teach more varied robotics in schools. During the project, new networks have also been created for future projects in the field of robotics and technology.
