The youngest students of Savremena Primary School – preschoolers and first graders – had an unforgettable experience during their very first lesson with the humanoid robot Pepper. 🤖✨ Excitement, smiles, and curiosity filled the classroom as the children discovered what it is like to learn with a digital assistant who recognises emotions, communicates, and learns together with them.

For preschoolers and first graders, this class was something completely new. They listened attentively to what Pepper had to say, answered his questions, and took part in simple interactive games. Many instantly saw him as both a friend and a teacher – someone who supports and guides them while making learning fun.

Pepper prepared a series of fun tasks suited to the children’s age – from recognising shapes and colours, to short general knowledge questions, and games that help develop focus and logical thinking.
Through these activities, the children practised cooperation, communication, and problem-solving, in the way that comes most naturally to them – through play.

Savremena Primary School has for years embraced an approach where technology is an integral part of education, and Pepper the robot is one of the most striking examples of how digital innovation can be connected with everyday school life. By using such interactive tools, students learn from the very beginning that technology is not just about entertainment, but a powerful ally in gaining knowledge and the skills of the future.

The first school days are always remembered, and the experience of meeting Pepper will certainly be one of those moments preschoolers and first graders cherish. This lesson helped them immediately develop a love for school, feel safe and motivated, and realise that learning is a journey full of joy, surprises, and discoveries.
