Leveraging STEM Approaches in Extracurricular Robotics Activities to Enhance Digital Competencies in Informatics Education

This paper explores the impact of integrating extracurricular STEM robotics activities as a method for enhancing digital skills in informatics education. The research focuses on an author' training model implemented in a school robotics club, designed to support and develop competencies in informatics through STEM methodology. The pedagogical experiment involves diagnostic assessments and project-based evaluations. The findings suggest that STEM robotics activities effectively foster key digital competencies and increase student engagement in informatics. This study contributes to the STEM’s role in education and offers a model for skill-building through applied technology in extracurricular settings.
