Robot Kits for Future Engineers

My Students

Our school is in the inner city and the majority of the students come from low-income families that qualify for free meal plans.

My Robotics class is a mix of 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students who are eager to learn robotics and activities that involve using their hands.

For many of my students, this has been the first time they have been exposed to a class like Robotics and Coding. Having all the materials and tools to create robots and circuits has been a difficult task, but with your help, it will be possible.

My Project

The kits will provide my students with hands-on activities that will allow them to build the robots and circuits they have been requesting at home. They will learn how a chip can be programmed to make things like a rover, a led light controller, and even an alarm system. Students are asking me, "Are we building robots soon"? All I can do is ask for them to be patient. I teach an Elective Robotics course which makes it difficult to obtain materials for all my students, but with your help, this can become possible. Thanks in advance for your support.
