This paper aims at developing IT convergence robot education contents using open hardware-based GoGo Board and presenting three cases that were applied into educational settings with elementary and middle school students. Several types of data for their activities were collected: photos, work output, survey data, video data and interview with robot teacher and students. Each student experienced building up a GoGo Bumper Car with touch sensors attached at front and back sides and figuring out the principle of digital board control and operating of electronic devices by sensing. The participants, in the following phases, conducted domino chain-reaction with GoGo Bumper Cars and acquiring GoGo Driving Licence by driving test on three different road maps. Students in a gifted education program creatively implemented their own ideas as part of robotic art. The result of case analysis showed that the proposed project provides students not only intimacy for technology, fun, concentration but her own empowerment for developing ideas and creative implementation.

The objective of this research is to explore a method to utilize a programmable robot, as a potential learning tool in the elementary school's curricula. Due to their programmability and operational ease of use, programmable robots are among digital toys that today offer specially instructive features. In this research, we developed the robot game-based project contents as a tool for teaching the elementary school children to learn the algorithm, the essential part of computer programming. The LEGO material, selected as the construction kit for robot, consists of a mechanical assembly system, a set of sensors and actuators, a central control unit, a programming environment. The project requires the children to complete 3 separate tasks, each of which is developed based on the principles of algorithm. The classroom feedback supports that the robotic experiences provided the children with fun and absorption. It is likely that implementing learning with robot in regular classroom in elementary school can bring new possibilities to the educational system, provided that a thorough preparation backs up the plan.

The purpose of this study is to improve creative personality of elementary school students with integrated subject study program based STEAM education. On this study, I analyzed integrated subject study and STEAM, developed contents using educational robot applied integrated subject study program model. And analyzed result after applied to elementary school students. After dividing two groups-experimental group, comparison group-for this study, tested t-test. Finally I got a meaningful result statistically. There was an postive effect to improving elementary school students' creative personality by appling STEAM-based integrated subject study program.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the educational effect on creativity and solving-problem ability based on hackathon of elementary SW education. We divided into control and experimental groups with activities of physical computing or robots. The control groups conducted by traditional project based learning collaboratively and the experimental group in hackathon. The outcomes from students were evaluated to by elementary teachers with questionnaire and analyzed to the creativity and solving-problem ability of physical computing or robot productions. As a result, a group of hackathon showed significant positive results in the accuracy on creativity and solving-problem skills statistically. We concluded that the free atmosphere of hackathon for communication and consultation have been attributed to various ideas of students.
