SEOUL: Seoul has started using pint-sized robots as teaching aids in kindergartens — a pilot project the city government said would help prepare the next generation for a hi-tech future. "The robots help with the kids' creativity," teacher Byun Seo-yeon told Agence France-Presse during a visit to the bright and busy Maru nursery in Seoul. The robots are undergoing trial in 300 Seoul nurseries and childcare centers, with the government recommending the program for children aged 3 to 5. "We believe having this experience in nursery schools will have a lasting effect throughout their youth and as adults," Han said.
