• Resumen

  • This article proposes an alternative (or additional) place for the use of robotics within the secondary school curriculum. Robotics provides a unique opportunity to engage students in genuinely multidisciplinary learning that challenges their misperceptions about the nature of science/technology and engages them with ‘big questions’. After establishing the context and pedagogical framework for delivering science/technology and big questions sessions within the classroom, this article provides a practical description of how the session has been delivered with students.
