Students: 5th Grade– 9th Grade
We create the future ourselves! With imagination, creativity and innovative thinking.
How do we envisage the cities of the future? Can technology help us towards a viable approach?
Robotixlab Day includes three 60-minute workshops on cities of the future. Students are asked to think and combine digital manufacturing technology (3D design and 3D printing) and robotics with the Internet of Things (IoT) to create their future. The workshop is based on Robotixlab’s out-of-the-box-learning method, where knowledge is experientially conceived through design, experimentation and testing in a repetitive design cycle of optimal solution approach. The program is designed and implemented by Antonis Kanouras,* engineer and founder of Robotixlab.
The program includes:
- Collaboration and teamwork
- Developing ideas and solutions
- Programming robots and microprocessors with sensors, electric motors, LED etc.
- 3D design and 3D printing.
* Antonis Kanouras, a graduate of Mechanical Engineering with Robotics from the University of Sussex with a Master’s degree in Cybernetics from the University of Reading, and Robotixlab have been collaborating with Mandoulides Schools for 10 years, offering special educational programs of robotics, creative electronics and digital 3D printing to students. His research in the field of Applied Robotics in Recyclable Waste Management has been patented worldwide and he has been awarded by the British Institute of Engineering Technology for his research at the University of Sussex on the subject of Biorobots. Robotixlab’s work in education has also been hosted at FAB10 (Barcelona), the Natural History Museum (London) and SXSW (Austin, Texas).
