Robotics motivates and inspires people of all ages and education levels. In fact, many researchers have already shown that students get more interested and excited about learning several topics when robotics is involved in the learning process. As so, the use of robotics in education has gained great interest over the last decade. The Workshop on Robotics in Education is a well established forum for discussing scientific, technical, educational, and other aspects of the usage of robotics in the learning process. The 16th edition of Workshop on Robotics in Education (WRE 2025) will be held from 15th to 17th of October at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Vitoria, Brazil.

Conference topics of interest are, but not limited to:

Robotics at school
Robotics in informal teaching (extra class)
Robotics in education curricula
Methodologies and materials for teaching
Robotics teachers formation
Study cases
Educational robotics platforms
Educational robotics simulation
Low cost educational robots
Web-based robotics
Social robotics
Robotics competitions
Unplugged robotics
Computational thinking with Robotics
Robot-student interaction
STEM with Robotics-Based Projects
Problem-Based Learning with Robotics
Robot-student interaction
