Abstract
For more than three years we have been researching the possibilities of robot programming teaching at elementary schools. The aim is to increase an interest in technical subjects of study at secondary schools and universities with a technical orientation. Research has revealed many interesting facts, on the basis of which the methodology and teaching was proposed and production of robotic system kits was developed and launched. The system allows continuous education from primary school to university including production of prototypes of automation and robotic systems. In fact, construction suitability and quality has already been tested in practice. It turns out that education has a significant positive influence on both the natural and mutual authority of student - student and student - teacher and pupil discipline, diligence, consistency and the ability to solve problems. Further, it also influences the area of occupational safety and active creative use of IT technologies.
