Robotics Unleashed: Empower Students to Innovate!
Engage your students in an exciting, hands-on robotics experience that brings STEAM learning to life. Students will assemble and program robots capable of sensing and responding to their environment through motion and light. While experimenting with sensors, they’ll enhance their coding skills by tackling real-world challenges such as solving mazes, following lines, and detecting or avoiding objects. This dynamic project encourages creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking—empowering students to apply coding concepts and engineering principles in meaningful ways. Perfect for fostering 21st-century skills in your classroom!

Summary of Standards
Grades 6-8
Computer Science Teaching Association Standards (CSTA)
Students will design projects that combine hardware and software components, create clearly named variables, develop programs that combine control structures, test and refine programs, and decompose problems and subproblems into parts to facilitate the design, implementation, and review of programs.
Common Core ELA
Students will learn new content specific vocabulary, participate in collaborative group discussions, and interpret information that is presented through media.
Common Core Math
Students will write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Students will use mathematics and computational thinking and construct explanations and designing solutions.
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
Students will synthesize information to create new understanding. They will participate in student-led discussions by eliciting and considering suggestions from other group members, taking notes, and identifying points of agreement and disagreement. Students will use the order of operations to generate numerical expressions.
