Robotics Hands- on

​

Robotics involves the design and creation of robotic systems. A robotic system has the capability of performing tasks and duties for humans to simplify life and streamline work processes.

The people who design robotic systems are robotics engineers with specialized training in electrical and mechanical engineering.

Robots are cool. This is the type of draw that will get students to suddenly care all about STEM. Even though a school will not have students build full-sized Transformers, students will be eager to develop the concepts they have seen on the big screen, in video games and on television.

Most have likely wished they could bridge the gap between reality and fiction. This gives educators a great opportunity to offer students a benefit that they can use right away: the ability to make a cool robot.  Here are a few ways making a STEM robot will provide great educational benefits.
