In the STAIR Learning Lab, students from secondary schools 1 and 2 learn how to develop software based on artificial intelligence to control a robot and test its suitability for use. For this purpose, a programming environment, robots and a simulation environment are provided. The question of how to teach the development of artificial intelligence and the quality assurance of its suitability for use in a playful way using robots and an associated simulation environment is examined.
