Summary/Abstract: The field of robotics is an integral part of technical education. It is a rapidly evolving domain that requires special attention as it changes significantly faster than other areas. Continuous and necessary changes in the education system highlight the relevance of this topic. Through the STEAM approach, robotics has a broad application and plays a crucial role in integrating subject content across different disciplines. The purpose of using microcontrollers in technical education is to enhance the teaching process in the field of robotics. By incorporating microcontrollers, students have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of programming and electronics.In this paper, we outline the key content related to robotics in curricula and subject syllabi in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We analyzed technical education curricula focusing on robotics. Through the STEAM approach, we observed the importance of applying robotics in other subjects, particularly emphasizing programming. By introducing project-based learning, students extend the context of robotics to topics such as creating irrigation systems, developing various types of vehicles, designing assistive systems for people, and addressing similar challenges. Regarding primary education in robotics, several countries stand out for their outstanding achievements and initiatives: China, the United States, Singapore, South Korea, and Finland. We compared their educational programs with ours. Additionally, we examined the use of microcontrollers in technical education in Croatia and neighboring countries, comparing their application with that in our country. The results reflect a global trend in recognizing the importance of microcontrollers in education and preparing students for the digital era.
