“…There are also studies that combine robot-based activities with music, visual arts, and performing arts, but they are focused on supporting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education (Chung, Cartwright, & Chung, 2014;Chung, 2014;M. Jeon et al, 2016).…”

Educational robotics has great potential as a learning tool at all levels, from kindergarten to the university. It provides rich opportunities for collaborative knowledge building and skills acquisition through the manipulation of and interaction with robots. Despite the remarkable progress in this field, the scope and impact of robot-based activities have primarily focused on the teaching of technical school subjects (i.e., computer science, mathematics, and physics). This work proposes to support the learning and teaching of non-technical school subjects through drama-based activities with multiple robots. This approach provides a multisensory learning environment where students can learn through representations or simulations of ideas, events, stories, phenomena, or processes using multiple robot actors. Based on the drama process used by teachers, we propose steps to create and perform plays with robot actors in an educational context and discuss different alternatives for its implementation. Finally, we discuss the challenges of creating plays with multiple robots for educational purposes.

“…Many science-art integrated educational programs, called STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics) education, have attempted to train students in integrated thinking and abilities through building kinetic artifacts, such as interactive robots and automata. 9,10 However, building the artifacts having kinetic movement involves a complicated design process requiring advanced knowledge of engineering. The resulting movement of kinetic mechanisms, such as linkage-based mechanisms, is unpredictable without an additional analysis process.…”

Recently, the demand for designing mechanism-embedded artifacts has increased in personal digital fabrication. However, it is difficult for nonexperts without engineering knowledge to design and build a prototype with a kinetic mechanism. We present M.Sketch, a prototyping tool that helps nonexperts to design and build linkage-based kinetic mechanisms. It enables the user to easily configure the linkage-based mechanism with a simple interface applying a geometry drawing metaphor. The tool features computational support, including interactive visualization, top-down optimization, and connection to digital fabrication, to obtain and build the desired movement. In order to support science-art integrated science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education related to digital fabrication of interactive artifacts, we deployed M.Sketch in design workshops and student contests of walking robot design. The participants in the contests were able to successfully design and build walking robots with the Theo-Jansen mechanism using various support features of M.Sketch. Based on the development and deployment in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics educational domains, we figured out several implications, and further improvement points of prototyping tools supporting nonexperts in designing mechanism-embedded interactive artifacts.

“…A growing body of literature has provided evidence of the favorable impact of STEAM in K-16 education through projects in robotics [5,6], information technology [7,8], and music technology [9]. While most of the studies are isolated and focus on undergraduate education, they provide evidence of the significant effect of a structured STEAM-based education model and the potential impact of integrating arts' learning methods and environments in graduate-level engineering and technology programs.…”

The integration of STEM with the Arts, commonly referred to as STEAM, recognizes the need for human skill, creativity, and imagination in technological innovations and solutions of realworld technical problems. The STEAM paradigm changes the dominant "chalk and talk" lecture and "closed-ended" problem-solving orientation of traditional engineering pedagogy to a handson, studio-based, and open-ended creative learning approach, typical in art education. A growing body of literature has provided evidence of the favorable impact of situating STEAM in K-16 education. The long-term objective of this work is to promote creativity in engineering students by integrating learning methods and environments from the Arts into graduate STEM education. To this end, an integrating engineering, technology and art (ETA) educational model is developed and is currently being tested. This ETA educational model systematically merges technical instruction with studio-based pedagogy. The ETA model consists of three courses, which were piloted in the year 2017. In each course, engineering and art instructors and students collaborated for 15 weeks on design projects. These projects ranged from drones to architectural installations.
