Abstract
Camarin High School is one of the schools in the Philippines that is making
an initiative in improving Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) education through robotics education. In this paper, the authors
report the development of a robotics program for students in junior high
school. Through the Teacher Training Program of the Japanese Government
for international teachers, localized challenges were identified, and advances
in technology education were examined for consideration. This paper informs
how the teacher-in-charge (the first author) grasps the problems in Camarin
High School and tries to improve robotics education by using available
simple materials. Focuses are on basics in robotics education for secondary
school, step-by-step education in project learning, and low-cost devices.
It is hoped to provide useful insights to both practitioners of robotics
education and initiators in a similar situation.
