For six consecutive years, the students at the Istituto comprensivo Generale Gonzaga in Eboli made the RomeCup podium thanks to the endless innovative drive of Headmaster Celestino Rocco and his staff of enthusiastic teachers. Then, he retired … but he certainly didn’t stop at Eboli! Mr. Rocco returned to RomeCup 2019 as a referee in the “On Stage” category.
In this interview with Cecilia Stajano [@CStajano], Celestino explains how educational robotics transforms school.
Together with Michele Baldi and Alfonso Molina, Celestino Rocco is an author of two educational robotics manuals: “Primi percorsi e giochi interattivi” (First Steps and Interactive Games) and “Competizioni: un percorso formativo con micromondi ex robotica e lego NXT” (Competitions: A Course for Micromondi Ex Robotica and Lego NXT) [see Didactic Materials in the RESOURCES Section].
