1) Dr. Detchai Duangsang encourages science teachers to learn about robotics technology to apply to their teaching and help students understand the importance of lifelong learning for the 21st century.
2) Using robots and AI in a chemistry course improved student test scores and satisfaction based on pre/post-test comparisons and surveys.
3) The learning environment engaged students in robotics and AI, had them explore plastics properties through experiments, and elaborated their knowledge by creating robots for environmental protection.
