Experience as a Robotics Tutor at the JUMP Association

From September 30th to October 2nd, 2025, I had the pleasure of participating as a tutor in a training activity organized by the JUMP Association, aimed at a teacher from Slovenia. It was an enriching and stimulating experience, both technically and personally: right from the start, a great atmosphere of collaboration and cultural exchange was established.

During the first day, I introduced the participant to block-based programming using Scratch. We completed some initial exercises, which helped consolidate the understanding of programming logic in a simple and intuitive way.

On October 1st, we continued working with Scratch and, later in the morning, transitioned to the Dobot Studio Pro environment, where we began programming and operating the MG400 robot using block-based commands. I introduced key robotics concepts such as kinematics, dynamics, and mechanics, and guided the participant through hands-on exercises.
Thanks to his strong background in computer science and his evident dedication, he was able to follow the entire program with remarkable ease, quickly mastering even the more advanced technical aspects.

In the afternoon of October 1st, we carried out an activity focused on providing a general overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI). During this session, we discussed the main principles and applications of AI in the context of robotics, emphasizing its growing role in automation, perception, and intelligent control systems.

On the morning of October 2nd, we visited the robotics lab at TOD SYSTEM, a company specializing in collaborative robotics. There, we explored advanced applications in the field, including kinematics, dynamics, sensor systems, computer vision, additive manufacturing, and computational simulation.

This experience allowed me to apply my technical and teaching skills in an international context, highlighting how robotics can be a powerful educational tool and a valuable opportunity for cross-cultural collaboration. It was particularly rewarding to see how, through commitment and curiosity, the participant fully embraced the training experience and demonstrated excellent technical proficiency.
