Robotics System Starter Kit
Spark & Sustain Students' Interest in STEM

Sample the MINDS-i Robotics system and introduce students to the basics of programming, robotics, and engineering. Students construct two robots and experiment with various sensors, actuators, and mechanical elements to perform multiple autonomous tasks. The set includes easy to use visual instructions for building and programming.

Spark & Sustain Students' Interest in STEM

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.”

Kit Design

This kit is designed for 2-3 students and requires about 3 hours to build and program each robot style. The Arduino® Robot Kit does not include a curriculum. See the MINDS-i Foundations Lab and Drones Lab for the curriculum.

Science, Technology, Engineering, Math

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.

Students gain knowledge and skills in the following STEM areas:

  • Engineering design process
  • Industry standard 3D modeling software
  • Using an engineer’s notebook
  • Mechanisms, energy, statics, materials, and kinematics
  • Development of residential and commercial properties and structures
  • Project research, testing and validation techniques
