The Social Robot Toolkit aims to provide a platform for children to learn through playful interaction. The social robot (Soro) toolkit allows preschool children to experiment with computational concepts while teaching a social robot new rules. The toolkit also provides a platform for learning interpersonal skills through the use of storytelling that integrates interpersonal and computational concepts. This harnesses preschoolers' natural interest in social interaction to familiarize them with new concepts.
