Educational robotics combines education with physical activities of building and programming robots to learn concepts.In Greece introduction of the Micro:bit device in primary and secondary schools for enrichment in education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).The aim of this study is to design and develop inclusive coding display cards that integrating Search and Share (SaS) Strategy with Micro:bit Device: an effort to educate towards supportive and accessible learning students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) need a positive learning environment.We want to build inclusive coding display cards using Structured Teaching approach based on color choice, simple language and visual aids to reduce sensory overload.We are also discussing the challenges we face and the resulting advantages of making educational robotics inclusive.We hope to use these cards to measure classrooms and see how effective they can be in aiding students with ASD learn.
