Robotics Fun

Hands-on tech play that sparks creativity and teamwork

Robotics Fun

Robotics is one of the core STEM areas of the STEMpower Through Art project. Through simple, hands-on activities with motors, sensors and programmable robots, young participants explore how technology works in a creative and playful way. Robotics helps them turn ideas into real moving creations, connecting science, engineering and artistic expression.

What We Do in Our Robotics Workshops

In our robotics workshops, young people:

  • build and test simple robots using motors, wheels, sensors and basic structures

  • learn how to control robots step by step (e.g. movement, reactions, simple tasks)

  • combine robotics with art – for example, robots that draw, move in patterns or perform small “shows”

  • work in small groups, share roles and solve challenges together

Activities are designed to be practical, visual and fun, so that every participant can follow the process and experience success.

Inclusion, Support & Skills

Our robotics activities are carefully adapted for diverse learning profiles. We use:

  • clear step-by-step instructions

  • visual supports and demos

  • mentor assistance when needed

  • flexible tasks so that each young person can contribute in their own way

Through robotics, participants develop problem-solving skills, patience, teamwork, creativity and self-confidence. Most importantly, they feel that they can “do technology” and that STEM is open and accessible to them
