Introduce students to robotics with easy to assemble and modify rovers that feature real-world applications. Working collaboratively using the Engineering Design Process, students build and program advanced robots to tackle unique challenges. As they explore mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and programming, students also analyze the robot’s physics, mathematical and scientific elements.
MINDS-i Robotics engages students in an energizing STEM learning environment with easy to build, program, and modify robots. Technologically advanced rovers and drones perform impressive real-world tasks that build excitement for STEM careers. The curriculum encourages collaborative problem-solving and the open-source Arduino® C++ programming language fosters endless creativity. With outstanding technical support, teachers are empowered and students are inspired to build whatever they envision in their “mind’s eye.”
We inspire a rigorous college and career-relevant experience through STEM Robotics in the everyday classroom in a format that can impact each and every student.
Each lab is one semester and designed for 3-5 students. Foundations is the recommended prerequisite to the Drones Lab + Curriculum.
This curriculum covers a multitude of engineering concepts including:
This student LAB was developed to supplement the MINDS-I UAV Drones Curriculum as an introduction to the world of UAV Drones and Robotics. It is designed as an interactive approach to applied science, technology, engineering, and math. In this course, students will become familiar with the basics of UAV Drone robotics and programming through teamwork.
The MINDS-i Foundations Curriculum as an introduction to STEM and Robotics designed as an interactive approach to applied science, technology, engineering, and math. In this course, students will become familiar with the basics of robotics and programming through teamwork
The Catapult Lab is a great entry point to the MINDS-i system. The provided exercises focus on the creative build process, data collection and the PDSA cycle (Plan, Do, Study, Act) used in the industry for decades, for design engineering, product troubleshooting & problem-solving.
By 2018, the U.S. will have more than 1.2 million unfilled jobs in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) because there will not be enough qualified workers to fill them. STEM is where jobs are today and where the job growth will be in the future.
Through activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum, our programs give students a chance to apply what they know, identify problems, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning. When students understand how their education is relevant to their lives and future careers, they get excited, and are more successful.
