Description
This course serves as an introduction to the world of STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, through the medium of robotics! Students will be introduced to these topics by building and programming their very own robot, and they will understand not only how to put the robot together, but why it works.
Although there is much a beginner can learn by completing the course activities without a kit, we find that following along and building your own robot is incredibly rewarding and makes the concepts more clear and fun to learn.
Our goal is to make this experience available to anyone, anywhere, so if you are interested in this course for your classroom or community and find the cost of the kit restraining, please contact projectsteambot.villageofdreams@gmail.com for more information on how to receive the materials for free!
Project STEAMBOT is part of The Village of Dreams, a charity organization dedicated to enabling everyone, everywhere, to dare to dream. We provide rewards for hard work, opportunities for educational growth, and financial assistance so that a child’s circumstances are never a barrier to their success. You can learn more about The Village of Dreams and how to support our mission at our website, our Facebook page, and our Instagram.
Who this course is for:
- Beginners interested in understanding the basics of robotics and simple, block-based programming.
