We have developed a robot-theater framework using interactive robots as a way to integrate the arts into STEM and robotics learning. The present paper shows a breadth of our target populations, ranging from elementary school children to college students. Based on our experiences in conducting four different programs applied to different age groups, we discuss the characteristics, lessons, design considerations, and implications for future work.Pages 299-3013 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightRobot TheaterSTEAM EducationMultiple GenerationsRobot-Theater Programs for Different Age Groups to Different Age Groups to Promote STEAM Education and Robotics ResearchConference proceedingHRI'20: COMPANION OF THE 2020 ACM/IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTIONhttps://doi.org/10.1145/3371382.3378353Jeon, Myounghoon [0000-0003-2908-671X]2167-2148
