本文提出了向学生介绍机器人技术和概念的新策略，并论证了提供机器人技术的多个切入点的重要性。本文特别描述了四种成功吸引广泛学习者的策略：（1）关注主题，而不仅仅是挑战； (2)艺术与工程相结合； （3）鼓励讲故事； （4）组织展览，而不是比赛。该论文描述了一种名为 PicoCricket 的新技术，该技术通过使年轻人能够设计和编程集成光、声音、音乐和动作的艺术创作来支持这些策略。本文最后分析了三种教育环境中的机器人活动，研究了这些新策略和技术如何吸引具有不同兴趣和学习方式的年轻人。
This paper suggests new strategies for introducing students to robotics technologies and concepts, and argues for the importance of providing multiple entry points into robotics. In particular, the paper describes four strategies that have been successful in engaging a broad range of learners: (1) focusing on themes, not just challenges; (2) combining art and engineering; (3) encouraging storytelling; (4) organizing exhibitions, rather than competitions. The paper describes a new technology, called the PicoCricket, that supports these strategies by enabling young people to design and program artistic creations that integrate light, sound, music, and motion. The paper concludes with an analysis of robotics activities in three educational environments, examining how these new strategies and technologies can engage young people with diverse interests and learning styles.
