Robo4Ever develops new concepts for postdigital education with the Leibniz ScienceCampus

Technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence are increasingly permeating areas of society beyond industrial applications – including care, education, and social services. To enable future-oriented participation in a postdigital society, there is a need for low-threshold, reflective access to these technologies.

The project “Robo4Ever – Robotics for Everyone” is developing an interdisciplinary teaching and learning format that gives students from all disciplines both practical and critical access to autonomous mobile robots. At the core is an inquiry-based learning approach in which students develop their own application scenarios, implement them as prototypes, and reflect on them collaboratively.

A specially developed graphical programming environment allows the robots to be programmed without any prior knowledge. The aim is to promote so-called future skills – including critical judgment, innovation competence, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Robo4Ever is a project of Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences and is affiliated with the Leibniz ScienceCampus Postdigital Participation. The project is developing transferable concepts for postdigital education in higher education.
