Summary:With the recent emergence of Amazon warehouses and service robots at airports and hotels, it is believed that we will enter an era in which humans and robots will struggle to coexist. Elementary and junior high school students need robotics education, which sparks their interest at an early stage. In response, higher education institutions are actively working on robot education, but most of them focus on online tracing using microcomputers. In this study, students from a technical college organized a workshop for third-year junior high school students to teach robotics about maze exploration. The lecture was evaluated by means of a questionnaire.
