| Roamer in Paris |
 |
| An adolescent student
had been brain damaged in a car accident.
This affected his math skills. He became aggressive
when teachers tried to engage him in basic
math so they gave him some Roamer tasks involving
simple calculations. The robot neutralised
his aggression and enabled the teachers to
work with him. |

enact the Billy Goat Gruff Story. |

|
| In a group project on
dogs students studied the animal behaviour,
wrote essays on dogs and made the robots look
like dogs. The final challenge: program the
robot to behave like a dog. |

| Roamer in Melbourne |
|
| “Roamer has come
to stay in our school… It is well adapted
for both sighted and partially sighted students” |
|
Mrs Syn
Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind School
Melbourne Australia |
|
| Mrs Syn demonstrated Roamer’s
cultural neutrality by creating a series of
activities for partially sighted students
that had a distinct Aussie flavour. The activities
involved the Australian bush and wild life.
