The project’s first activity was to study and determine the conditions under which robotics and 3D printing training flourishes within Europe.

Benchmarking:
Implementing desk based work on available basic robotics/3D printing training.

Analytical activities:
Carrying out a European survey and data collection activity on the use and value of robotics and 3D printing training.

Training activities:
​
Developing an introductory training programme, incorporating a combination of robotics competition activities and curriculum, designed to help teachers/trainers to teach programming skills to young people to enable them to gain knowledge and experience of these new technologies, including the use and application of 3D printing (which can be used to build the component parts of robots). The training modules can be easily added to existing training programme already available.

Mutual learning, exchange of good practices, cooperation:
Promoting good practices of training at the European level.

With new technologies emerging and entering in to the world of work, business, manufacturing, logistics, education and a number of other domains - the need for new skills is obvious for employers, employees, students, teachers and all involved in the process of matching needs of competences and providing them.
