Considerações sobre um Desafio de Robótica Fazendo Uso de um Simulador

Abstract

This study presents an experience focused on the use of simulators in robotics education, highlighting their effectiveness as a strategy to engage young people in technological learning in an accessible and engaging way. Through the Open Roberta Lab platform, participants have the opportunity to explore concepts of programming and automation, developing logical reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Practical activities promote learning through experimentation and error, while also fostering the development of socio-emotional skills such as cooperation, persistence, and self-confidence. In addition to expanding access to robotics without the need for physical kits, the use of simulators contributes to the development of digital competencies and stimulates interest in fields such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, thereby strengthening students’ overall education.
