Robotics 2: Designing Robots
Robots are made of many different parts, each with its own important job to help the robot. Sometimes, engineers design robots that are inspired by humans, animals, and nature. Team up with your fellow Brownies to design a robot inspired by a bumblebee and engineer a robotic arm. After, plan, build, and share your own…
Robotics 2: Designing Robots
Explore the Design Thinking Process as you build a model of a social robot that can make life better for others. Decide on a challenge, brainstorm solutions, plan, build a prototype, and test it to see how well it meets the needs it is designed to address. Pick a challenge Explore possible solutions Plan your…
Robotics 2: Designing Robots
Robots are made of many different parts, each with its own important job. Sometimes, engineers use biomimicry to design robots that are inspired by humans, animals, and nature. Engineers can even create robots that continue to learn about their environment. Explore artificial intelligence (AI) and technology. After, plan, build, and share your own robot prototype…
Robotics 2: Designing Robots
Build a prototype of a new kind of robot that could help someone to overcome a daily obstacle. Decide on a challenge, brainstorm solutions, plan, build a prototype, and test it to see how well it meets the challenge. Pick a challenge Explore possible solutions Plan your prototype Build a prototype Get feedback on your…
