ROBOTICS4DEAF

ROBOTICS THROUGH SIGN LANGUAGE

ROBOTICS4DEAF is an Erasmus+ Project which introduces students with deafness or hearing impairment between 10 to 21 years old to coding and robotics in order to support their employability prospects and ensure social inclusion in the digitalisation of the labour market. The Project aims to develop an educational training pack, a digital platform and a mobile application to promote coding and robotics skills to students with deafness or hearing impairment in formal or non-formal settings.

Aims

Accessibility and participation

Ensure access and participation of students with deafness or hearing impairments through the design and development of a Training Package which promotes coding/robotics skills that integrates into all STEM fields (Science, Technology, engineering and mathematics)

Training, monitoring and assessing

Design and implement the programme for students with in-built ICT training offered both on-line and face-to-face, and constant monitoring and assessment procedures through a mentoring offered in an open environment.

Target Groups

Students - Youth (10-21yrs) with deafness or hearing impairments.
