“…However, our links to mathematical concepts and skills are significantly more specific regarding the Mathematics curriculum by Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA). We are inspired by the handson, exploratory and interactive approaches of others [38] for Lower Secondary School, but we offer significantly more complex challenges.…”

“…As part of our university's outreach activities, and as others previously [18,38,31], we aim at establishing motivating links with the STEM curriculum using hands-on experiences with robots. More importantly, we hope to inspire the so much needed curiosity [15] and assist talented individuals to seek explorations beyond our activities and encourage their teachers to develop lessons around our proposed challenges.…”

We have developed three lessons supported by the principles of inquiry-based learning (IBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) in educational robotics with the aim of steering and emphasising the mathematics aspects of the curriculum and the role of mathematics in STEM, while also touching on the social context and impact of STEM. Our goal is to inspire and prompt the curiosity in the participants to seek further understanding in mathematics, to develop mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills, and to see applicability in the emerging world where artificial intelligence and automation are transforming the skills learners will use as professionals. Moreover, we have delivered our ideas to educators in high-school who indicated they would incorporate our challenges and tools to cross-pollinate different areas of STEM.
