Please help us reach former RoboCupJunior participants!
by Amy Eguchi 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Dear RoboCuppers, I hope this message finds you well and your teams are getting ready to participate in RoboCup 2023, Bordeaux, France! I am reaching out to you to seek your help spreading the word. I have a RoboCup Federation-funded project to study the impact that participation in RoboCupJunior competitions had on participating students. We have witnessed the impact it has on the Junior teams for many years. However, what proves the impact of RoboCupJunior as of today is anecdotal accounts mainly from the observations by RoboCupJunior organizers, team mentors, and teachers and the stories shared by RoboCupJunior participants. This project will provide scientific evidence of the impacts that RoboCupJunior has had on participating students. Many educational robotics competitions have run similar studies to measure the impacts that their events have on their participants. However, it is rare to study the participants after they left the competitions to study longitudinal impacts. What you can help the project with is sharing the survey <https://forms.gle/z6QfZD3zEH4cxD646> (https://forms.gle/z6QfZD3zEH4cxD646) with Junior mentors and former participants in your region via direct email, SNS, etc. The wider you can reach better it is to get feedback from many former Junior participants! Thank you for your help in advance! If you or your mentors/teams have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Warmly Amy p.s. You or your kids could be former RoboCupJunior participants! If so, please fill out the survey <https://forms.gle/z6QfZD3zEH4cxD646> ( https://forms.gle/z6QfZD3zEH4cxD646)! ****************************************************************** Amy Eguchi, Ph.D. Associate Teaching Professor, Computer Science Education Transforming Education in a Diverse Society Department of Education Studies, UC San Diego a2eguchi(a)ucsd.edu *Pronouns: she / her / hers* **********************Peace on Earth******************* *UC San Diego was built on the unceded territory of the Kumeyaay Nation.
