El Independiente on Pilot Program Using Robots in Early Education
El Independiente highlights a recently piloted program in Paraguay based on an ongoing IPA study in Costa Rica using a robot to boost math and programming skills among preschool students. In this study, children aged 4-5 years are taught to program the robot by scanning a series of flashcards with instructions that use mathematical and numerical concepts. IPA will conduct monitoring and evaluation of a similar program in Paraguay in which 900 robots have been donated.
