Hi Marianthi, 

The tool of Virtual Robotics that we have found, extended, and used so far is the "GearsBot".  This was chosen among others due to some key aspects that allows its further development. Our students used it for the implementation at school with a design thinking activity in Y1. 

They also further developed the VR tool to collect log data from the interaction (we have data collected from that from Y1 - with the participants). The code in GitHub and all the information/work is shared with Alisa and added in D4.2 (see page 31 and some other information in the WP4 folder). What I know from Alisa, is that they are working to incorporate it in the platform and change the google sheet API (that our students used to test) to the ExtenDT2 platform API for shaving the data in our database.

Best, 
Sofia

Subject: [Extendt2_omt] Virtual Robotics technology for Year 2
 
Dear all, 
I am a bit confused with the Virtual Robotics tool we will be using 
Do we have a specific virtual robotics tool that we plan to use in Year  2 school Interventions? (our teachers are asking) 
Filothei also needs this information for embedding the tool into the platform and for the learning analytics task (5.4)
Is someone in charge of this technology (finding and extending a Virtual Robotics tool) or how are we going to do it? (Maybe you have already discussed it in the Ghent meeting and I missed it so I apologize if that is the case ☺️) 

Best,
Marianthi
