Abstract
Gaming and Robotics are a very motivating approach for project-based learning. This paper reports a programming (through games) and robotics-based learning in school with student aged 6 to 15. The students work in groups to programming simple task in coding; constructing and programming robots using Lego Mindstorms EV3 Kits; and create a map to move the robots avoiding obstacles.
