Found this link and thought it was interesting. Others trying to use robotics as an educational platform for software engineering using science and technology.

About IPRE / Myro
The Institute for Personal Robots in Education (IPRE) is a partnership between Georgia Tech, Bryn Mawr College, and Microsoft Research to apply and evaluate robots as a context for computer science education.

Myro, short for My Robotics, is software that enables its user to program their own personal robot. It will be used as a tool of IPRE in the classroom to help boost enrollment and retainment in computer science classes. In this release, a C# interface is used to provide all the .NET languages the same Myro API .
