Nowadays, school systems are underlining the relevance of “computational thinking” and educational robotics not only in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education, but also in other humanistic disciplines as reinforcement of student creativity and problem-solving capacity. This paper presents an example of educational robotics tool used to engage students in their learning process through the manipulation and construction of artifacts.References
