As an advanced attempt to integrate art and design into STEM education (i.e., STEAM), in the present paper we introduce our afterschool program in which elementary students create live theatre using multiple robots as actors. We hope to receive feedback and comments on our afterschool curriculum and case study, and thus, we can run better sessions at schools and make a standardized protocol regarding this robot actors approach.Pages 445-4462 page(s)application/pdfenIn Copyrightlive theatremultiple robotsSTEAM educationMaking Live Theatre with Multiple Robots as Actors Bringing Robots to Rural Schools to Promote STEAM Education for Underserved StudentsConference proceedingELEVENTH ACM/IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HUMAN ROBOT INTERACTION (HRI'16)https://doi.org/10.1109/HRI.2016.74517982016-AprilJeon, Myounghoon [0000-0003-2908-671X]2167-2148
