Amazingly this robotic action are able to be done by any ages, including children age, and its encourage being teach in classroom. As the object of training and education, students are actively, creatively and directly involved in the process of assembling, operating, and practicing the exercises are available in modules. Each module is made according to student ability levels. Teaching elementary school level, more on playing robots, but still maintain the element of education. At the high school level, students are given an introduction began the introduction of programming and technology by studying the structure of programming, assembling and working in groups. At university level, students take modules not only understand the basic principles of robotics and programming but also challenged to modify the program and the construction of the robot.
