Report of a robot competition on the problem of garbage in the sea and verification of learning effects
Summary
This report describes an underwater robot competition held in Japan focused on marine garbage collection as a way to engage students in ocean sustainability. The competition combined education about plastic pollution in the sea with hands-on robotics, promoting STEM learning alongside environmental awareness.
In the Junior League of the Eighth Underwater Robot Competition held in 2022, a marine cleaning robot competition was held under the theme of "life under the surface," the 14th goal of the SDGs.Specifically, we held a poster session on the problem of garbage in the sea and a robot competition to compete in garbage collection ability, and competed for points.In this paper, we give an overview of the junior league and discuss its learning effects.
