The aim is to get children interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) at an early age, i.e. as early as first and second grade. The project aims to encourage continuous contact with STEM activities throughout their entire school career in order to increase their chances of later training or studying in the STEM field.<\/p>\n<p>Often, extracurricular STEM activities are only aimed at children from the third grade onwards. &#8220;Robo Kids&#8221; is therefore aimed specifically at younger children. In addition to vacation activities, weekly workshops are offered for fixed groups over a period of six months. In order to ensure low-threshold access, the free workshops take place on the premises of schools, after-school clubs, leisure centers and district libraries.<\/p>\n<p>In the workshops, the children learn the basics of programming in a fun way and train their analytical and logical thinking. From programming a mini-robot using symbol blocks to small games in an app and self-built, programmable robots, they gradually expand their skills. In addition, the children are introduced to other regional STEM projects that offer further content for older children.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the ongoing group workshops, taster courses are offered during the vacations to raise awareness of the project among children and families. The project is also developing a training concept for multipliers so that the workshops can be offered beyond the duration of the project. The materials required for this can be borrowed free of charge from the Barkhausen Institute by the trained multipliers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Duration of the project:<\/b> 01.01.2026-31.12.2028<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\">Further links<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barkhauseninstitut.org\" target=\"_blank\">\ud83d\udc49 www.barkhauseninstitut.org<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Logo: Robo Kids<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 5, 2026. &#8220;Robo Kids&#8221;, a new educational project for children from socio-economically disadvantaged families, is being launched at the Barkhausen Institute.
