In this paper, we first describe the pedagogical reform process in our school. Then, we point out the major human difficulties in reforming. The complexity of the relation between the new student generation and the teachers is briefly described. And some major changes in student's behaviour are given as example. The consequences on the teaching strategy are then indicated. At least, we show that theses evolutions require adaptation, efforts and changes in the way of teaching. And we finally present here, in our field of competence, a concrete and pedagogical robot design project (with technical details) we did, as an answer to the reform necessity
