A method known as "playful learning" is one that makes use of various forms of play to facilitate discovery learning as well as problem-solving. Playful learning may be difficult to implement in an online environment designed to teach subjects related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), particularly at times like the COVID19 shutdown. This obstacle will be conquered during this research, as will the question of whether or not it is beneficial to use entertaining methods, such as combining aspects of game design and robotics, in order to teach STEM topics within the context of an online learning environment. This research analyzes the impact that adopting fun learning in online STEM education has on the level of student engagement as well as the amount that they learn. According to the findings of this study, increasing the amount of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement among students by having them playfully learn with robots resulted in greater overall levels of engagement.
