  • Abstract
    This paper presents an approach of constructive education instead of traditional education that neglects constructivism. A practical course in robotics for different student age groups and different education levels ranging from K-12 children to university students is described. Different modules incorporated in the course are explained and the attention is focused on their integration in building the robots for the robot soccer team. Development of the skills needed in the mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering and computer science and solving of the real life, practical problems results with a new quality in education of the target audience.
