GRG at EduTech Asia 2024

Title: Empowering Teachers with AI & Robotics: Hands-On Global Robotics Games Workshop

Focus: Transforming STEAM education with AI and robotics to solve global challenges, specifically focusing on clean water access—a key Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).

In this interactive session, you’ll experience the same challenge GRG participants face: programming a Quarky robot to autonomously navigate a grid of water tunnels using AI to detect turns. You’ll collaborate with fellow educators and gain valuable insights into integrating AI and robotics into your classroom.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Explore how AI can be applied in robotics for real-world problem-solving.

• Learn to program robots using Pictoblox to navigate challenges autonomously.

• Understand the role of AI and robotics in solving global issues like water infrastructure integrity.

• Foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking in your teaching.

Session Details:

• Introduction: Overview of GRG and its impact on STEAM education and global challenges (10 mins).

• Hands-On Programming: Work in teams to code a Quarky robot using AI to navigate through water tunnels (30 mins).

• Reflection & Discussion: Share experiences and discuss real-world applications of AI in solving global problems (10 mins).

• Future of STEAM Education: Explore how GRG prepares students for careers in tech-driven industries (10 mins).
