Zusammenfassung:This paper describes the design of a professional development workshop on integrating robotics at the elementary and secondary school curriculum. The workshop was designed to support STEM education through teacher education at the university and post-university level. Moreover, the workshop leveraged the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and an interdisciplinary approach to engage teachers with robotics. The workshop's design and implementation highlights the affordances of an interdisciplinary approach for attracting a greater diversity of teachers across all content areas to provide students with educational robotics activities.
