This deliverable reports on the final version of the ER4STEM framework, which is the result of three-years of improvement and iteration based on the continuous contribution of WP 2, WP3, WP4, WP 5 and WP6. Consequently, this document could be considered as an organizer and a window to the work done throughout the ER4STEM project's implementation period. The framework aims to make explicit the connection between pedagogical strategies, robotics and 21st century skills providing processes and

... s to guide stakeholders along the critical use of robotics in education. Moreover, it situates the educational use of robotics in constructionist learning activities for children both inside and outside of school in which, they: Collaborate within and between teams Creatively engage with challenges in STEM domains Engage in critical thinking through reflection Have opportunities to learn how to recover from failure Gain a sense of achievement These activities are taking place in shared spaces with mediating artefacts (aka robots), teachers and children are able to challenge existing classroom norms and attitudes towards learning (in STEM and in general), in order to develop and maintain young people's interest in STEM subjects and careers. To achieve this, the ER4STEM framework provides four components that are the result of the work done throughout the project: ER4STEM Glossary, (ER4STEM Glossary) Tools: ER4STEM web-repository (WP 5) (ER4STEM Repository), ER4STEM activity plan template and activity blocks (WP 4) (ER4STEM Activity Plan Template), and ER4STEM generic curriculum (WP 2) (ER4STEM Generic Curriculum) ER4STEM pedagogical principles (ER4STEM Pedagogical Principles) Processes for the delivery of Educational Robotics Educational Robotics Workshops (WP 2 – D2.3) and Conferences (WP 3 – D 3.3) for young learners (ER4STEM Processes).
