• Logical thinking: robotics encourages logic and reasoning so, indirectly, it also works on philosophical thinking.

• Psychomotor skills: to fit the pieces of the projects/robots together requires psychomotor and coordination work.

• Creativity: Here imagination is always present as students must design different models, robots, constructions.
