Technology that’s perfect for teaching, proven for learning

Started in 2023, Oxford Educational Robotics has brought a new way of thinking to early years and primary classrooms through a focus on hands-on creative learning from the age of 2. Schools are being transformed by new classroom technologies which emphasise ‘learning-by-doing’ and ‘embodied learning’, with pedagogical research underpinning this change. While theoretical knowledge from STEM lessons is important, students need hands-on experiences to actively apply and create using abstract concepts. It is vital that young learners are facilitated to build the foundations of the future of learning, such as computational thinking, algorithmic thinking, sequences, as well as digital skills. It is also of utmost importance that young learners build a positive and constructive relationship with technology, so that they might become creators rather than consumers of technology in their futures.

 

Being endorsed by Montessori Global Education is vital for the continuation of the movement towards integration of hands-on teaching and learning technology in early years and primary education. The values of Montessori are present in all of our tools, and will continue to be of utmost importance to the technological transformation of education, and the growing importance of STEM skills into education.
