Educational Activities:

Upon completing the activities in this section, teachers and students will have the knowledge to apply what they have learned to real world problems and applications using the scientific method.

Objective of these Activities:

1. To develop an understanding about science and technology as related to robotics .

2. To introduce several technical components of robotics including sensors, motors, gears, power sources, and computer programming

3. To allow students to experiment with robotic components

4. To encourage students to change or improve current technological designs

Learn Robotics Do Robotics:

These are the set of activates that help student to develop  knowledge about motors sensors ,gears and programmable modules. The detailed material about these Activities available on request.
