STEM Education for Girls: Part 2 - Robotics - All Activity

Research and Development Foundation commented

Classes resumed in the first week of February, with a third group of students. As for the number of students - existing number of lego sets does not allow to have more than 6 students in the class. The interest is quite high and we plan to add new classes as soon as the old ones finish the course.

Great job! Im wondering why there are so few students? Is it because there is low demand/interest in Telavi, or is it due to the lack of resources, either lego sets or HR resources?

Classes are conducted regularly, students get familiar with programming basics, how to program tilt and motion sensors, with assignments becoming more diverse and difficult. Videos and photos of the classes are posted on Research and Development Foundation FB page. Here are links of couple of videos:

Overall, there are two 45-minute classes per week, the length of the program is two months. Students learn the basics of programming, what an algorithm is, how to build a sequence in order for a program to run.

The necessary items for the program have been purchased. The project team is getting familiarized with the teaching syllabus and software. The registration for the program will start late August-early September, till then no major activities of the project are envisaged.
