This fully assembled and programmed robotics breadboard accompanies the MINDS-i Foundations Curriculum. Designed to help teach programming, it allows you and your students to physically interact with the sensors on a stationary platform and can be used as a quick and easy method for checking your students' wiring and code.
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.”
Each lab is designed for 2-3 students and includes 10 curriculum hours of building and data collection.

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.
Immerse your students in STEM with the thrill of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) competitions. The kit introduces students to drone building and programming, with a focus on the classroom, community, statewide and national competitions. It includes a UAV frame, replacement parts, and a full library of sample programs to quickly get started. This fun, team-based setting inspires students to pursue STEM-based careers.
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.
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.
