The combination of education and robots is becoming an increasingly important issue. Although researchers have conducted some studies on educational robotics in STEM education at the undergraduate level, no research examined the effects of gamified educational robotics on participants' motivation and creativity. Therefore, this study examines the…

The use of digital technologies in teaching and learning has proven to be effective in aiding students' understanding of difficult concepts.
