This study explores how educational robotics enhances elementary students’ computational thinking, problemsolving skills, and technological humanistic literacy. A total of 23 sixth-grade students participated in a seven-week Kebbi Air robot programming course. A computational thinking competency test and a problem-solving self-assessment questionnaire were used for quantitative analysis, and student interviews were conducted to examine their perspectives on technological humanistic literacy. The results indicated significant improvements in students’ understanding and application of computational thinking concepts, particularly in conditional logic and iteration structures. In problemsolving, the "testing, evaluation, and improvement" dimension showed the most notable progress. Interview findings revealed that students were not only interested in robotics technology but also considered its societal implications. This study validates the potential of educational robotics as a medium for programming education and a catalyst for fostering students’ awareness of technology’s societal impact. © 2025, The Education University of Hong Kong.
