Humanoid robots are programmable machines capable of speaking, moving, and responding to questions, while the kits allow students to assemble and program mechanical devices. According to Ferreira, these tools spark curiosity, facilitate learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts, and can be adapted to serve students with disabilities, expanding inclusion.
