Teaching Mathematics with Robotics – A STEM Project

In an engineering school, mathematics applications are diverse and the ISEP (School of Engineering, Polytechnic of Porto) laboratories are the ideal setting to show just that. In this article we will present the project Matemática, por onde andas? (Mathematics, where are you?). This project is aimed at secondary school students and intends to show that mathematics is transversal to different areas. With the help of technology, mathematics is applied in engineering projects, and in this work we will present an application to robotics.
