Summary/Abstract: This article presents results from a pedagogical experiment on the impact of a structured educational environment — incorporating robotic platforms, AI tools, and physical experiments — on the cognitive and technological development of primary school students. Analysis of empirical data from diagnostic testing and observation reveals statistically significant improvements in spatial perception, algorithmic thinking, and technological literacy within the experimental group. Specific patterns in these competencies were identified, shaped by the participants' age and the learning environment. The findings confirm that integrating robotics and AI effectively supports holistic child development and enhances practical problem-solving skills
