Abstract
Educational activities with robots have been conducted at each stage – from kindergarten to junior high school. In this paper, we propose and verify educational material supporting collaborative operations through experiences related to people and objects. Specifically, three children used joysticks to operate a robot simultaneously. The robot could not move unless the joysticks manipulated it. We developed teaching support material that nurtured cooperation through play.
