Assistive Technologies Summer School:STEM-subjects and robotics

Abstract

The MINTOL project envisaged a Summer School about robotics and computer science in relation to the STEM-subjects in Oldenburg. The participants, German high school pupils, got a structured approach to concepts of assistive technologies and got to know specific practical examples, respectively with a view to functionality and appliance. The contents of the project program were introduced theoretically and deepened by dint of practical exercises. Main subjects to be worked on were basics of technical assistive systems as well as basics of communication and information technologies, potentials of robotics (primarily basic concepts, assembling and programming), methods of image processing, and finally technical potentials of building systems engineering and its crosslinking.
