The project "Modelling Educational Robot" (MER) is meant to meet the needs of the 21st century digital society by incorporating programming and robotics in the school curriculum. This project not only represents a well-balanced combination of technology, teaching and content, but it also promotes student creativity and new ways of student evaluation. By programming the robot, students will gain a deeper understanding of programming, robotics, and artificial intelligence and will be able to see how science, engineering and math are interlinked.
