Abstract
The paper discusses the current state of educational robotics, specifically its project-based engineering perspective for K-12 students, utilizing a hands-on approach to voluntarily build and use robotic solutions of different complexity in digital fabrication environment. Analysis of student behavior for the given approach is presented. Educational content composition scheme is proposed and demonstrated with practical examples realized with students. Further steps to improve student motivation are considered.
