A series of scientific practice activities for increasing middle school students' interest in robot

In order to expand the high-quality comprehensive education resources for middle schools to keep up with the scientific progress, a series of scientific practice activities are designed and opened to middle school students under the support of government. Based on the analysis of the activity feasibility, and focusing on the line of interest-finding, interest-inspiring, interest-cultivating, and interest-having to inspire children's innovation spirits, a series of interesting activities including robot playing music project and dancing robot project are developed. In these activities, the middle school students work together with the undergraduates to stimulate their learning interest. These activities have been given many times to a lot of students and the results indicate that the robotic activities can help students increase their interest in robots and automation. In addition, it can also enhance the participants' hands-on and practice abilities in the collaborative process of the activities.
