Join our interactive STEM workshop where students work in teams to design and build a mobile robot capable of collecting tennis balls using various innovative mechanisms. This hands-on activity combines creativity with engineering principles, offering a practical introduction to robotics and electronics.

Participants will:

• Calculate motor power requirements for efficient movement and ball collection.

• Select appropriate sensors, controllers, and batteries to ensure optimal performance.

• Learn safe wiring techniques and insulation methods to prevent short circuits.

• Assemble components step-by-step, integrating mechanical and electronic systems.

• Test and evaluate the robot’s performance, making improvements based on real-world results.

This group-based experience promotes problem-solving, teamwork, and technical skills, while aligning with STEM learning objectives. Perfect for students aged 7–17 who want to explore robotics in a fun and engaging way!
