ABSTRACT
The Ministry of Education in Taiwan attaches great importance to robotic and program education. However, when it is popularized to disadvantaged children, robot education will face many challenges involving teachers, equipment, venues, activity funds, and teaching experience. In this study, 27 children from Orphanage A in Yunlin County were taken as the target objects. The research results of developing graphic control programs are introduced into Jimu robot education to promote science popularization activities in the orphanage, in order to provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and adolescents in the orphanage to experience basic program design, learn to operate robots, and contact with alternative scientific stimulation. It can reduce the gap in the information education of students, promote equality in learning opportunities, and improve the quality of information science in orphanages.

Bringing Grades K-5 to the Mainstream of Computer Science Education
SIGCSE '15: Proceedings of the 46th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationAs awareness of computer science education grows in the general public, it is important to showcase computer science education as accessible for all grades K-12 and beyond. As panelists present the projects and research they've been conducting, we will ...
Projects for computing summer camps for 4th-12th grade students (abstract only)
SIGCSE '14: Proceedings of the 45th ACM technical symposium on Computer science educationThis workshop will provide details on the projects that we recommend for non-residential computing summer camps for 4th -- 12th grade students. Georgia Tech has been offering computing summer camps since 2004. These camps are financially self-sustaining ...
Assessment of computer science learning in a scratch-based outreach program
SIGCSE '13: Proceeding of the 44th ACM technical symposium on Computer science educationMany institutions have created and deployed outreach programs for middle school students with the goal of increasing the number and diversity of students who later pursue careers in computer science. While these programs have been shown to increase ...
