In this workshop, at first, elementary schoolchildren disassemble and analyze a mini-robot, respectively, with the support from a college student who made this minirobot. Finally, a new mini-robot which achieves another new task is designed and rebuilt by each child based on analyzed result of disassembled mini-robot.
