Abstract

In this paper, we describe the approach of the research activities in order to take advantage of the creativity and thinking abilities in practical research of the robot for junior high school female students. The students mainly understand the main idea and the definition of robots and they created them based on information and advice provided by our university and teachers. As a result, the students created the robots by their unique imagination.
