This was the 2nd ACM Global Computing Education Conference (CompEd). ACM CompEd is SIGCSE’s fourth and newest conference. It is held outside of North America and Europe every other year. At the intersection of computing and the learning sciences, the event seeks to promote global computing education development.
Students testing the robot on a real world course
To date, educational robotics (ER) research has focused on the use of robots to augment learning of fields other than robotics (e.g., mathematics, programming, digital media) for K–12 students. As a result, we lack ER guidelines for: (1) supporting college robotics students learning the discipline of robotics itself and (2) college robotics students, who may possess distinct abilities and needs compared to K–12 students. To address this gap, we present a semester-long exploration of a college-level Introduction to Robotics course.
This was my first best paper award as well as my first time presenting in India! It was hosted at the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIITH). One of the keynotes was by Dr. Yasmin Kafai, who helped develop the programming language Scratch!
