The aim of this project is to understand the impact of humanoid robots on student learning, the integration of the robots into the Australian Curriculum, and the pedagogical approaches that enhance and extend student learning. Preliminary findings indicate an increase in student engagement, differentiation of student learning, self-directed learning, deep learning, and a fostering of creativity, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, coding, and computational thinking. These emerging themes are providing a richer understanding of what deep student learning is, and this deep learning is evident across a range of contexts from early childhood through to secondary.
