Robotics For Democracy Initiative First Training Day 1
Robotics for democracy is RAS powered program aiming to promote access to Robotics in Tunisia Rural Schools underdeveloped regions.
- Give them a chance to meet robotics and to get introduced to educational robotics new technologies
- The program includes several training sessions for educators so that they can spread the educational
robotics activities with their pupils, and then make them competing in Robotic Challenge.
IEEE RAS Tunisia Chapter will organize a technical Workshop entitled "Build Your Own Robot" for primary school educators. At the end of this workshop, educators will be able to build their own robots using an economic board such as Arduino.
