Abstract

In this paper we characterize curriculum for educational robotics which we iteratively developed within our dissertation research. We developed 11 activities with complex methodical materials, which teachers can productively integrate into their daily teaching and thus prepare attractive introduction for educational programming for pupils. We think that curriculum developed in this way can serve mainly for fulfilling modern educational goals of Informatics. With our new intervention pupils can develop important skills, knowledge and abilities, which they will use not only in school, but in their personal lives as well.
