Enhancing Robot Programming with Visual Feedback and Augmented Reality
ITiCSE '15: Proceedings of the 2015 ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science EducationPages 153–158https://doi.org/10.1145/2729094.2742585In our previous research, we showed that students using the educational robot Thymio and its visual programming environment were able to learn the important computer-science concept of event-handling. This paper extends that work by integrating ...

Teaching a core CS concept through robotics
ITiCSE '14: Proceedings of the 2014 conference on Innovation & technology in computer science educationPages 315–320https://doi.org/10.1145/2591708.2591714We implemented single-session workshops using the Thymio-II--a small, self-contained robot designed for young students, and VPL--a graphical software development environment based upon event handling. Our goal was to investigate if the students could ...
