Sue Mellon, Gifted Support Coordinator in the Allegheny Valley School District used Arts & Bots as a way to introduce robotics to her STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) class.
Students could build anything that they wanted as long as they met the following requirements:
- Have 6 moving parts
- Use a servo in a different way by either attaching a different bracket or by talking apart and attaching with something between the bracket and the servo body
- Use 6 LEDs
- Use 1 sensor
- Have a distinctly different set of commands for the sensor conditions
- Hide the wires
Here are a few examples from the class:
Dog Bot by Alex
Alligator Bot by Dakota
Big Wheel Car Bot by Justin
