Advantages of applying robotics and artificial intelligence using the Smart AI-Lens camera and Micro Bit board in primary school

In the current state of education, reflection on practice is a necessity to ensure evidence of success. At Escola Espai 3, we employ robotics and AI to study their advantages in primary education classrooms.
Robotics often requires artificial intelligence to carry out certain actions. The Elecfreaks Smart AI-Lens camera, along with the Micro Bit board, provides primary school students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of robot programming. Having created an AI-based personal assistant using Scratch, this experience aims to introduce students to the interplay between robotics and artificial intelligence through the creation and programming of robots using the Smart AI-Lens camera and the Micro Bit board. Our results allow us to assess the motivation, behavioral improvement and learning disposition of the participating students. What’s more, these results show an increasing improvement of the competences and skills worked on, and a harmonious and sustainable school climate.
