Students Dive into Marine Education and Robotics with RoboAquaria

Over the past three months we have successfully completed the piloting activities of the RoboAquaria project, an innovative initiative that combines robotics, digital tools, and Marine Education to raise environmental and climate awareness among young learners.

Over the course of three piloting rounds, students from Saint Nicolas Primary School and Trachoni A’ Primary School in Cyprus engaged in a series of interactive workshops focused on developing STEAM and Green skills. Through hands-on activities, students explored the fundamentals of robotics, designed and built their own robots, and learned how technology can support environmental communication and advocacy.

The piloting activities allowed educators to implement the RoboAquaria Toolkit, the Marine Education curriculum, and the project’s eLearning platform, promoting creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy in the classroom.

RoboAquaria aims to protect marine environments by integrating Educational Robotics into primary education and strengthening teachers’ competences. As part of its outcomes, the project is developing a Methodological Framework for piloting, Guidelines for Teachers, a validated RoboAquaria Toolkit with Lesson Topics, and an E-Learning Toolkit featuring Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Lesson Plans.

By bridging technology and environmental education, RoboAquaria empowers students to become active agents of change for a sustainable future.
