Abstract

The abstract delves into the intersection of educational robotics and coding education, exploring how these two fields synergize to enhance learning experiences for students. Educational robotics, with its hands-on approach, provides a tangible medium for students to engage with coding concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of computational thinking. This paper discusses the benefits of integrating robotics into coding education, highlighting its role in nurturing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and innovation. It also examines the challenges faced in implementing such programs and proposes strategies to overcome them, emphasizing the importance of teacher training, curriculum development, and the availability of appropriate resources. The study concludes with the recommendation that educational robotics should be recognized as a valuable tool in the arsenal of coding education, contributing to the development of a technologically literate and innovative workforce.
