N2 - This paper proposes a new approach to teach the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) knowledge informally via robotic games. In this approach, a robotic playground is built to provide a hands-on programming and playing experience with robots controlled by Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) software, which is based on a new approach that uses reusable services (components) with standard interfaces and platform-independent interoperability. Services in the repository are annotated with STEM knowledge to enforce the required contents. In this way, students can learn computing and STEM in an entertaining manner.1
