Description
Summary:	This article is of informative proposal about the first research network with Latin American scope in the area of Robotics in Education (RE). We came up with a heterogeneous and multidisciplinary group, with the participation of universities and federal institutes in Brazil and a Peruvian university. The network aims to Study and Develop Methodologies for Implementing Educational Robotics in Public Education Systems. The proposal emphasizes the analysis of policies and experiences in the Continuing Education of Teachers as well as the development and improvement of software, hardware, curricula, and teaching methodologies in the Robotics in Education area. During the manuscript, some of the state of the art is given on public policies aiming the use of Educational Robotics in the Brazilian education scenario, with a critical reflection on the contributions of RE, either as an active methodology for different purposes or in the teaching-learning process in public schools. Next, based on the initial study, we will be showing developed and improved tools for RE, including software and hardware. Our studies also seek the scientific foundations to propose improvements in curricula and course proposals for continuing education and learning of RE in schools.
