Abstract:

Proper management emerges through education and the cultivation of environmental awareness in citizens from an early age. Universities around the world have developed a large number of initiatives for the use and substantial exploitation of cutting-edge technologies. In compulsory primary and secondary education, the Internet of Things is not widely used in the production of new knowledge. It is observed that in public education, Internet of Things applications are used only as technological tools. For these reasons, the present research aims at the development of an application that will utilize Internet technologies in combination with robotics. The main goal is to transform the Internet of Things into a significant tool in the educational process. The evaluation of the proposed research will be carried out through qualitative and quantitative measurements after the completion of the educational intervention.
