Tinkercad and mBlock: Tools for Educational Robotics and Coding Learning A Case of Ghandi Primary school Morocco

This study explores the impact of Tinkercad and mBlock on the en gagement and computational thinking skills of students at Ghandi Primary School. Through interactive robotics and coding activities, students demonstrated increased motivation, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in programming. Using Arduino and block-based coding, they developed a deeper understanding of STEM concepts in a hands-on learning environment. The findings suggest that integrating educational robotics into primary education enhances student engage ment and fosters essential 21st-century skills.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Tinkercad and mBlock on the en gagement and computational thinking skills of students at Ghandi Primary School. Through interactive robotics and coding activities, students demonstrated increased motivation, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in programming. Using Arduino and block-based coding, they developed a deeper understanding of STEM concepts in a hands-on learning environment. The findings suggest that integrating educational robotics into primary education enhances student engage ment and fosters essential 21st-century skills.
