GOMEZ RODRIGUEZ, Horacio. Educational robotics using the mBot in elementary school students. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.25, e024.  Epub Dec 13, 2022. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v13i25.1274.

This paper shows an experience of using the mBot robot for educational purposes, which can be implemented as a support for learning block-based programming, which from an early age serves to promote computational thinking. For this purpose, a study was developed to learn about the experience of a group of elementary school students who participated in a class in which the mBot was used. Specifically, a qualitative descriptive methodology was applied. The results of the observation show that students have acquired technological knowledge by combining a mobile device and using Bluetooh to connect and follow up the use of the robot.

Keywords : Arduino; Makeblock; mBot; block programming; educational robotics; STEM.
