Sample Robot Day Activities

This section of our website features the hands-on activities that we have developed for Robot Day. The activities usually begin with simple discussions about batteries and motors. They then proceed through sensors, displays and microcontrollers.

Our activities wrap up at the Robot Corral when the students get to interact directly with the collision avoidance robots.

Each activity can be tuned to the grade level and interests of the students. These activities are designed to appeal to a wide range of students through dialogs that have been customized for grades 1 to 12.

Depending on your experience with these events, you can do a single activity on each table or combine multiple activities on tables. For example, the motor table can combine four different hands-on activities.
