Abstract:

 


The aim of this research is
to present the benefits of working with artbots in education and to investigate
further benefits for society. The methods which are implemented in order to
reach this aim are related to children's and other audiences' participation in
contemporary art practices as well as educational activities which involve
artbots. These practices and activities are
rich and diverse ranging from drawing with artbots (with or without coding) to
producing small-scale theatrical pieces, happenings and
films.
However, all the activities presented in this paper are interdisciplinary and
involve or connect the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and
Mathematics) fields. Another common characteristic of all the activities is
that they communicate human values through messages of love and peace as well
as through references to beauty, harmony, festivity, mobility,
interconnectedness and other qualities of the contemporary living conditions. Which
are the learning outcomes and what impact do these practices and activities
have on the audiences? In order to give an answer to these questions it is
important to take into consideration the different age and social groups as
well as the contexts where these activities take place. It is also interesting
to see these activities through and beyond STEAM education by highlighting the
implementation of the Arts as a way to blaze new trails for fostering creative
and innovative thinking. The artbots activities presented in this paper can be
easily carried out in various intercultural, intergenerational and
interdisciplinary contexts and they can bring together people by bridging
many kinds of gaps. This means that artbots
activities are a promising field of research and creation in education with
multiple opportunities for original activities which benefit education and
society
