The expected Intellectual Outputs:

Result O1 National Report on educational offer and good practices in teaching robotics. The development of a National Report on non formal learning of robotics by each partner

country will aim to compare the educational offer and methods of learning robotics among adults. 

Result O2 Robotics and modern technologies course through informal blended learning for seniors. The aim of the course will be to familiarize seniors with modern technologies and

robotics, raising their awareness of technical progress and developing key competences related to numerical, scientific and engineering skills and digital and technology-based

competences. The blended learning method used will allow all participants to take part in the online course, regardless of distance.

Result 03 (E 1-8) Promotional Event "Let's meet with robotics”. The purpose of organizing the event will be to increase the interest and awareness of seniors in robots and modern

technologies. The event, organized in each partner country, will contribute to the popularization of robotics among local communities, and above all to the popularization of the course.
