My Project

My students live in a rural environment and need more hands-on experiences with technology and problem-solving. These robots will provide the opportunity for students to build the robots and then put them into action.

Students that have hands-on activities are excited to learn.

There are so many avenues into STEM careers that students want to learn more about. My middle school students have been asking for robots in the library. They will be used as in introduction to industrial robotics and green energy. Students can learn about wind technology, gear power, and assembly for real-life examples of how robots can be used in everyday life.
