An Affordable MathBot: Let's play!

The design of an affordable and easily-scalable system as a support tool for the educational system in developing countries is presented. It is aimed to develop a system that can work regardless of the participants' gender, ethnicity, or socio-economical conditions. Therefore, a system whose only requirement is a battery or electricity is proposed. By making the students compete with each other to be the first one that answers correctly some mathematical operations said by a robot, is aimed to provide experiential learning through practice in an environment that stimulates social and cognitive skills while increasing their engagement in learning.
