SPACEbotics | STEMbotics

SPACEbotics is a unique lesson plan that takes us into outer space. Constructing and then programming futuristic robot models is a great introduction to physics and astronomy.

Each lesson is taught by a STEMbotics’s instructor. The curriculum is designed to inspire and teach. Using pictures, movies and animations instructors will spark energetic discussion about the working principles and inspiration behind the coding design.

STEMbotics instructors will provide an overview of each project and provide 1:1 assistance as needed.

Students will design, program and automate their robotic creations. Students will use LEGO Education Programming.

AT-ST WALKER

This walking robot uses a proximity sensor to detect any obstacles or chasms on its way and will stop moving upon detecting such a danger. The robot is powered by a special crankshaft that slowly puts one leg in front of the other. AT-ST is stable at all times because of the unique way it lays its ’feet’ on the ground. Playing with this robot is a great opportunity to talk about different ways in which robots move and about how the world of science fiction inspire modern engineers and designers.

DROID

This simple robot waves to anyone that would like to meet him. When the motion sensor on its head detects movement, our droid runs the program that puts his hand in motion. During this exercise we talk about the development of humanoid robots, artificial intelligence and advantages of using it.
