In this training, primary school teachers elabroated on possibile opportunities to implement as an educational programme (EP) by using the Co-design canvas. A method especially designed for the CoTEDI-project. Read more
Topic for the CoTEDI traning regarding how can artificial intelligence facilitate teaching and learning needs for pedagogical coaches and childcare workers.

Training for primary school teachers at CoTEDI school partner Swalm & Roer Netherlands to make them aware of the opportunities and possibilities that educational programmes (EPs) offer for implementation in education. In addition, there will be a presentation with a demonstration of how and in what ways social robotics can be used to support learning in the classroom. Read more
Many children in special education show impairments in their psychological and socio-pedagogical development. For example, children with intellectual disabilities often experience difficulties in multi-step problems. Previous literature suggests that digital technology-enhanced learning environments not only contribute to computational thinking but might also enhance aspects of psychological and socio-pedagogical development in children from special education. For example, CT-related interventions using educational robotics improved executive functions – particularly response inhibition – in children from special education. However, little is known about how these environments can contribute to the psychological and socio-pedagogical development of children in special educational contexts. Read more
CoTEDI presented results from practice in schools at the EduRobotX Workshop at the ECTEL'25 conference in Newcastle & Durham, UK. The presentation focused on the research conducting regarding "The Influence of Serious Games and Educational Robotics on Computational Thinking to Promote Reading Ability and Reading Motivation in Children with Dyslexia." by A.P.L. Graus from BCO educational agency and N.L.J.A. Fanchamps from OUNL. Read more
Last month's ECTEL Conference hosted the EduRobotX Workshop. CoTEDI contributed three presentations to the workshop. Watch them here! Read more
Our hackathon aims at new and inclusive playful experiences with robots for children. We call for game designers, programmers, teachers, and makers to join us for making the digital future tangible and fun for all children. Read more
Christian Glahn presented CoTEDI at the STIU (Schweizer Tag des Informatik Unterrichts/Swiss Day of Computer Science Teaching). STIU hosts also the national finals of the Bebras (Informatik Biber) competition. The CoTEDI booth was well received by teachers, students, parents, and researchers. Read more
Highly visual ICT learning environments offer excellent opportunities to enable meaningful learning about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Application of such environments can enable tangible experience, lower the level of abstraction and increase imagination, allowing fundamental concepts underlying STEM to be taught in an understandable, meaningful way at an early age. Through inquiry-based learning, stimulation of curiosity, manipulation of concrete materials and through the encouragement of meaningful learning, such ICT learning environments can ensure that elementary school students develop a positive learning attitude and become more motivated for STEM.

In the context of using technology in a different way to develop computational thinking (CT), the CoTEDI project links up with Dr Nardie Fanchamps' research on the application of music producing with electronic software. This is to identify what impact creativity can have on developing CT, and what role can be attributed to different modalities. A scientific journal article is already published. Read more
