A80, e682https://doi.org/10.1107/S2053273324093173 Robotics in education is a powerful tool for presenting scientific concepts as well as for building interdisciplinary activities for high school students in STEM [1-2]. Crystallography is only shortly mentioned in school curricula. The interdisciplinary nature of crystallography allows to show how scientific…

Andrea Ienco, Bruno Tiribilli, Chiara D’Errico, Armida Torreggiani, Valentina Biasini, Sabrina Gualtieri, Pietro Galizia New Perspectives in Science Education – International Conference; 2024 Vol. 2024. Educational robotics is a powerful, flexible, teaching and learning tool. At the same time, it can be used for presenting scientific concepts and it can help to develop scientific thinking,…

Bruno Tiribilli, Michele Basso, Franco Quercioli, Massimo Vassalli Physics Education (2019) Vol. 54 n.6 pag. 65013 Abstract A mechanical model of light propagation helps to show that optical refraction is related to the speed of light and how it changes from one medium to another. A tricycle toy robot is used to realize the model.…

Basso M and Innocenti G Comput. Appl. Eng. Educ. 23 947–58 (2015) Abstract: LEGO© Mindstorms is a widely spread affordable education robotic platform, that has recentlygained native support from the Mathworks© simulation environment Simulink. The pros and cons of theintegrated Mindstorms/Simulink framework are actually illustrated through a complex model based controldesign project featuring a self-stabilized bicycle, that…

F Quercioli, B Tiribilli, A Mannoni, S Acciai Applied optics (1998) Vol 37 N. 16 pag. 3408-3416 Abstract The basic elements of a fairly complete optomechanical kit based on the use of LEGO are presented. Taking advantage of the great variety of standard LEGO elements, and adding a few custom components made of Plexiglas, we…
