SIMPLE ROBOTICS PRACTICE WITH KAMPOENGROBOT AS AN EFFORTTO SHIFT CHILDREN'S DEPENDENCE ON GADGETS: A CASE STUDY INDURENAN VILLAGE

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of smartphones among children represents a significant challenge in contemporary society. Consequently, there is a pressing need for the development of innovative solutions that are both accessible and appealing to young users. In order to address these issues, the researcher employed the action research method to develop a solution. This involved organising a "Simple Robotics Workshop," which was designed to address the identified problems. The series of events commenced with a concise overview of the subject matter pertaining to the constituent parts of the robot, followed by a practical session conducted in collaboration with the speaker. The team concluded that the simple robotics activity was an engaging and inspiring experience for children, fostering their interest in exploring new possibilities and making optimal use of their time.
