We are happy to invite participants to EduRob24, the upcoming Summer
School on Educational Robotics at Graz University of Technology, Graz,
Austria, taking place from 8.-12. July 2024.

To spark the interest of young people in Robotics and AI is of paramount
importance. Unfortunately, resources are scarce at schools which are the
natural multiplier in this endeavor.

Thus, the summer school aims to develop an easy-to-access robot
simulation environment and ready-to-use teaching material for
educational robotics in schools. Teachers, lecturers, and university
students will work on this goal during a week that will offer keynotes,
hands-on sessions, discussions, and a strategy workshop. Dive into
topics such as technology, sustainability, accessibility, didactic
concepts, and Open Roberta and take part in material development and in
shaping an easy-to-access future of Educational Robotics. Through
lectures, hands-on sessions, and discussions, participants will gain
knowledge in robotics technology, content creation, and teaching skills.

This summer school is also a starting point of several activities toward
the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2026
in Vienna, Austria which will have a strong connection to Educational
Robotics.

Key highlights of the program include:

* Development of a browser-based simulation framework in cooperation
with Open Roberta Lab (https://lab.open-roberta.org/)
* Technical education through lectures by experts in Educational
Robotics and teaching concepts
* Development of teaching material based on the developed easy access
simulation framework

We in particular address university students, teachers, mentors,
lecturers, and all excited to bring the next generation of pupils closer
to science and technology, especially Robotics and AI.

Due to the generous support of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
there are no participation cost for the summer school and there are
limited grants for accommodation and travel.

Participation to the summer school will be granted based on the
participant's motivation and previous experience in the field.
