Description
Summary:This paper focuses on the Workshop "(Re)Creative Mobile Robotics for Kids-(Re)CreativeRobot'' for popularizing Control and Mobile Robotics for children. Inspired from the "Girls in Control'' workshop, this education activity allows children to individually implement basic Control algorithms on mobile robots via Scratch programming. Its first occurrence was held during the French science festival "Fête de la Science'' 2022 edition. A second occurrence was held in a primary school in the Paris region, allowing small groups of kids to collaboratively develop Scratch algorithms for mobile robots. This paper shows some insights and perspectives of this perennial interactive Control Education activity.
