Since robotics holds a special fascination among all the technological fields -due to its cross-disciplinary approach as well as its popularity through movies and literature -this field is attracting even the interest of pupils and students who are normally more reserved and cautious towards technological areas. In particular, practical experiences have shown that out of all the different technological areas robotics has a very high motivation impact on women. Thus, robotics can also be utilized as an instrument to bridge the gender gap in technological areas and fields of natural sciences.However, so far the majority of projects and initiatives focus on the instruction of the pupils and students themselves which naturally leads to restrictions concerning the scope of application. In order to enhance the impact factor, the integration of "multipliers", in particular the "educators" in elementary schools, middle schools und high schools -and even in the kindergarten -is an important task. Within this paper, we describe a concept for teaching teachers how to implement robotics curriculum into today's classrooms which is currently under development at the

Robotics holds a unique role among the technical disciplines. This role is based on the inter and cross-disciplinary foundations of the field, ranging from areas of the computer sciences such as software-engineering and artificial intelligence, classical mechanical and electrical engineering problems defined by the design of the hardware, to the development of social and team skills in the development of complex problemsolving strategies. In addition, the applications of robotics are far reaching, broadening the scope of problems faced beyond the technological fields. As a result, the field of Robotics allows hands-on teaching of scientific and engineering methodologies at an early stage of the students' academic education, not limited to basics but integrating state-of-the-art technologies.Add the popularity of robots based on a multitude of robotic heroes and examples from literature and movies and robotics is ideally suited as the object of a project-oriented course for teaching team and communication skills, the development of strategies to solve complex interdisciplinary challenges and different concepts of soft and hardware engineering.
