</div>
<div>7-9 October 2015, Porto, Portugal http://teemconference.eu</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Track 3: A Robot in the Classroom</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Purpose:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Robotics in Education tries to strengthen different skills for future engineers/scientists by the means of the design, construction and programming of robots. These skills are related to various fields like science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM). Also, and equally important, the introduction of the robot in the classroom, both at school and college and even as extracurricular activity, promotes a host of outcomes such as technological fluency, creativity, participation, support, collaboration
and cooperation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The purpose of this track is to bring together researchers, teachers and practitioners interested in the Robotics in Education. This track intends to emphasize the exchange of experiences, methodologies and materials to motivate students about science
and technology.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>​<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Topics</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>• Experiences with new teaching materials</div>
<div>• Web-based materials, virtual worlds and simulation</div>
<div>• Open source material</div>
<div>• Laboratory experiments in educational robotics</div>
<div>• Teaching Methodology</div>
<div>• Design of educational projects with robotics</div>
<div>• Pilot studies in educational robotics</div>
<div>• Robotics in school</div>
<div>• Development of Curriculum in robotics at the University</div>
<div>• Experimental evaluation of hardware and software platforms</div>
<div>• Free and printable Robots</div>
<div>• Competitions as motivation activities</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Papers Format</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All contributions (5-8 pages) will be written following the ACM template (http:// www.acm.org/sigs/publications/pubform.doc) and should apply ACM Computing Classification categories and terms. The templates provide space for this indexing and point authors
to the Computing Classification Scheme at http://www.acm.org/ about/class/1998. The first anonymous version must be submitted in PDF.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Paper must be submitted through EasyChair platform (https://www.easychair.org/ conferences/?conf=teem2015).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be published in the ACM Digital Library as a volume in its International Conference Proceedings Series with ISBN.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Authors with best papers will be invited to prepare and submit extended versions to be considered, after a new peer review, for publication in several special issues of the following scientific journals. Some of them are mainly linked to specific tracks
(as it is described in each track page), others have a more transversal scope and papers from all tracks may be invited.</div>
<div><br>
