The document discusses using social robots as educational tools to teach children in Iran about water conservation. It proposes a robot named WATERobot (Water Awareness Teaching and Educational Robot) that would provide interactive lessons and games to make learning about efficient water use enjoyable. The researchers developed teaching scenarios for their social robot NAO (renamed Sina) and saw potential for these lessons to be shown on television. Their goal is to establish collaboration between researchers, teachers, students and television stations to ensure Iranian children learn vital water conservation skills through robot-assisted education.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Water (or “Aab” in Persian) is the first word Iranian children learn at
school. When it comes to water conservation it is crucial to start educating
our kids from this point on the importance of saving one of the Earth’s
most valuable resources for posterity.
Children seems to learn better through educational tools and techniques
that are presented as games. These days’ children are showing a great
interest in intelligent toys and robots.
Social Robots as emerging technologies and intelligent machines are
entering our societies. They are recently proven to have great potentials
in being utilized as educational tools for various goals and purposes.
3. WENM2016 / December 3-5, 2016 / University Of Tehran
Water education & conservation is globally a critical issue…
Future wars are expected to be on water…
Today’s children make our future societies…
Kids can play an important role towards water conservation,
by simply starting at home and change the way their
families, friends, and classmates use water.
Did you know that kids can make a very important
difference towards water conservation?

20 Ways Kids Can Help to Save Water:
When you wash your hands, don’t leave the water running. Wet your hands and turn the water off. Use
soap and lather your hands well, then turn the water on to rinse. Turn off the water completely, then dry
your hands.
Do the same when you brush your teeth. Turn the faucet on to get your toothbrush and toothpaste wet,
and then again to rinse your mouth and toothbrush. Don’t leave the water running while you’re brushing.
Tell your friends what you’re doing and why and encourage them to do the same.
Tell adults when faucets are dripping.
Since baths use a lot of water, take short showers instead and use only water when you need to rinse.
Use a wastebasket for used tissues, or things like gum wrappers, paper towels, or even dead bugs or
goldfish. Don’t flush them.
A regular shower head uses as much as 7 gallons of water every minute. Look for a low flow shower
head that has a cut-off valve that shuts off the water flow while lathering your hair or shaving legs. You
can then turn the water back on, without it starting off cold again.
Do you have plants in your house? When meals are prepared and vegetables or other fresh produce are
washed, collect that water and use it to water the plants.
In the tank part of the toilets in your house, put several drops of food coloring into the water. If you see
the coloring seeping into the bowl, there’s a leak. Fixing it can save about 600 gallons of water each
month!
Do you like a drink of cold water now and then? Rather than running the kitchen faucet for several
minutes to get cold water, keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator.
Put a barrel outdoors to catch rain water, then use that water for things like watering plants or flushing
toilets and save hundreds of gallons of water a year!
5. WENM2016 / December 3-5, 2016 / University Of Tehran
In the summertime, it’s fun to play under the lawn sprinkler. When you do, make sure it’s when the lawn
is being watered at the same time.
Do you have other summer water toys that require a running hose? These might be fun, but they also
waste gallons and gallons of water.
Is there a garbage disposal in your kitchen sink? Then, you know the water has to run into it when you
turn on the switch. Instead of doing that and wasting water, why not start composting food waste
instead? Collect things like fruit skins and peels, vegetable leaves and stems, and even dead plants
and flowers. In a ceramic container, keep them moist and toss them for air once a week. The compost
can then be added to a garden like a vitamin for your outdoor plants!
Encourage the others in your home, and your friends, not to leave any faucet running.
If there is a dishwasher in your house, encourage everyone to scrape their plates rather than rinse
them before loading them into the machine. It should always be full before turning it on.
Do you notice that your toilet handle “sticks” and has to be “jiggled” for the toilet to stop flushing? If
this is happening, water is continuously running through the toilet and needs to be fixed.
Is there a leaky faucet or toilet in the bathroom at school? Be sure to let someone know so that it can
be repaired.
If there is a pool or a hot tub at your house, encourage those who use it to cover it afterwards. This
prevents evaporation and having to keep refilling.
If the adults in your home occasionally water the lawn, encourage them to water in the cooler parts of
the day (early morning, or at or after sunset), and never on windy days. This keeps in the soil all the
water being sprayed instead of most of the water being lost to evaporation.

Robot Assisted Water Education for Teachers (RA-WET)
Teaching scenarios are devised to
enhance interaction among kids and
the NAO social robot.
NAO (renamed with an Iranian name
“Sina”) is used to teach children the
proper way to conserve water.
The idea with diverse scenarios has
potential to be shown on TV stations
during children’s programing.
8. WENM2016 / December 3-5, 2016 / University Of Tehran
Using humanoid/animalistic social robots as teaching aids in classrooms is a
novel approach to educate concepts of “conservation/saving” and “squander
/profusion” of water. (Received the “Best Innovative Idea Award” at the 8th
Int. Conf. on Social Robotics in Kansas City, USA, November 1-3, 2016)
We anticipate that young children/students will be able to not only learn
various ways of saving water but also commit themselves to its long-term
practice with the side benefit of relaying this message to other kids.
10. WENM2016 / December 3-5, 2016 / University Of Tehran
CONCLUSION
What does Iran, with serious water problems, need to do in order to keep pace
with the rest of the world in water saving and conservation? Among other things:
There needs to be a thoughtful investment made to educate our children on
water awareness, by using state of the art technologies which can make the
learning process joyful and effective for them.
Social robotics education and training for teachers can be an important part of
the resources set aside to meet this goal.
An active community of researchers, teachers, students, and TV stations
collaborating on RA-WET projects is something that we propose as our goal,
to ensure that our children are well educated about vital challenges that water
shortage can bring into their lives in the future.
