The kit features specially designed robot parts. These parts connect easily. Students can build different robot models. They can also program the robots to perform tasks. The kit includes motors, sensors, and a control unit. All parts are safe and durable for classroom use. Teachers get support materials too. Lesson plans and activity guides are provided. These resources help educators teach robotics concepts effectively.
MIT researchers contributed their deep knowledge of education and technology. Sony provided its expertise in electronics and product design. This partnership combines academic research with real-world engineering. The kit reflects years of study on how students learn best. It focuses on hands-on activities. Students learn by doing. This approach makes complex ideas clearer.
The robotics kit targets middle school and high school students. It teaches core STEM principles. Students learn about coding, mechanics, and problem-solving. Schools can use it in regular classes or after-school clubs. The kit encourages creativity and teamwork. Students work together to solve challenges. They see their ideas come to life as moving robots.
