Resum:
The “Storytelling Robots” project is a collaborative educational endeavour undertaken by Escola Sant Jordi, Institut Roquetes, and Universitat Rovira i Virgili, with the goal of enriching language learning and fostering creativity among primary and secondary school students. This initiative integrates the timeless art of storytelling with modern technology, harnessing techniques such as storytelling, programming, and robotics to cultivate an immersive and engaging learning environment. Through a crafted series of activities, students are not only encouraged to enhance their language proficiency, but also to explore the captivating realm of technology. The project's key objectives include improving language skills through storytelling, promoting creativity through the integration of technology, fostering collaboration among students, and facilitating the sharing of educational resources. By emphasising collaborative learning and leveraging cutting-edge techniques, the “Storytelling Robots” project seeks to equip students with indispensable language competencies and technological proficiency essential for navigating the complexities of the digital age. A dedicated website serves as a centralised hub for project resources, facilitating educators' access and adaptation of materials to suit their students' needs, thus ensuring broader dissemination and utilisation of project resources throughout the educational community. Through these techniques, the project aims to equip students with essential language skills and technological competencies for success in today's digital world.
