We are looking to add robotics, coding, and programming to our STEM lab in a rural school. But, we are currently lacking the technology to accomplish this with our students. We believe a set of three GoPiGo Robot Starter Kits and Raspberry Pi computers would be the perfect fit to introduce hands-on innovation. A set of three Raspberry Pi computers, to program three GoPiGo Robots, can engage a variety of grade levels, covering a variety of STEAM topics and disciplines. For example, younger programmers can be introduced to coding by moving the robots through a maze or competing in a robot soccer match. More students can learn about planets and program the GoPiGo to explore as a planetary rover. We could transform our robots to become reptiles and utilize heat sensors to explain cold-blooded tendencies of different animal species. Our robot platform can even spark a new innovative invention to help people. The possibilities to engage our students through collaboration are endless! Please consider helping us utilize the GoPiGo robot kits as a medium to learn STEM content. Robotics cultivates creativity and provides authenticity to a curriculum. It allows ideas to become reality through brainstorming and constructing a robot or program. This will prepare our students to become highly-skilled learners that will contribute to a vibrant future. Thank you!
