Call for Papers WRE 2025 : 16th Workshop on Robotics in Education 2025

http://www.natalnet.br/wre2025/

The Workshop on Robotics in Education (WRE) is the premier Brazilian international conference dedicated to the role of robotics in learning. As a well-established forum, WRE brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners to explore the scientific, technical, and educational aspects of robotics in education.

The 16th edition of WRE (WRE 2025) will take place from October 13th to 15th at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), in Vitória, Brazil, a pleasant city with islands, slopes, coves, mangroves and beatiful beaches, besides rich colonial architecture.

Robotics has the power to motivate and inspire learners of all ages and education levels. Research consistently demonstrates that students become more engaged about learning when robotics is integrated into the educational process. As technology continues to transform our daily lives, especially with the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics in Education serves as a compelling bridge, connecting people to the evolving technological landscape.
