An increasing number of French schools are embracing the digital revolution and consequently, new subjects are making their way into the educational facilities.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, the national curriculums revision which should come into effect in 2015, aims to implement extracurricular activities in every French school.<\/p>\n\n

In light of this, the INRIA (French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation) project team Flowers<\/strong> has created a teaching module designed specifically for schools, which they called Inirobot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Inirobot is a sequence of educational activities which will allow pupils and teachers to become acquainted with robotics.
The robotic platform chosen for the implementation of this project is the educational robot Thymio II. With its small size, light weight and colored leds, the Thymio II is the ideal learning tool for kids!<\/p>\n\n

More complex sequences of activities have also been designed to match the understanding level of high school students.<\/p>\n\n
