Junior Robotics creators will learn all about the properties of sound while making a Talk Bot that can record and playback sounds. This project explores what sound is and how the Talk Bot’s parts work similarly to the human body. First, the project is assembled, using the step-by-step instructions from the Online Classroom. Once the Talk Bot is built, the creator will have fun recording different sounds and messages, then making the Bot say them back. Then, your Junior Robotics-maker will be challenged to put their understanding to the test by answering some questions and completing exercises.

Make a voice recorder that can play back messages, music, and more.

Your young robotics creator will have a blast making a Doodle Bot that will move and create art on its own! The Doodle Bot project kit comes with everything needed to make a functional robot and teaches young learners about physics and engineering core concepts. The first step in this project is to put together the bot, learning about vibration motors and how to change the speed and direction of the Doodle Bot by adjusting its limbs. After the Doodle Bot is ready and can draw a picture by vibrating with its energetic spinning powers, the Online Classroom challenges the young learner to complete challenge exercises to have them demonstrate what they just learned!

Build a robot that can draw by itself.

Your little one will get an introduction to the important concepts of resistance and electricity while making their Bumble Bee project. This device will allow them to map different electrical devices to resistance in a circuit and learn how adding elements to a circuit changes the resistance. The Online Classroom introduces the key concepts for this lesson, and then the creator will assemble their Bumble Bee, using the detailed step-by-step instructions and diagrams. The Bumble Bee’s speaker changes pitch depending on resistance, so when it’s done, the creator will be able to make a hand-drawn working piano and play songs with it. Then, the Junior Robotics-maker will test their new skills and understanding with challenge questions and exercises.

Make a pencil with a built-in speaker and use your body as an electrical circuit!

Get your young engineer off to a bright start with the Junior Robotics Bundle. They’ll get a chance to build three unique robotics projects that will leave them with a strong foundation of STEM skills and concepts. First, they’ll take on the Doodle Bot, which teaches them about the different types of movement in physics. This bot can draw on its own, making different shapes depending on how the markers are positioned. Then, they’ll move on to learn about the properties of sound with the Talk Bot. This second project allows them to record and playback their voice or whatever they decide to record. Lastly, they’ll build the Bumble Bee, which is a device they attach to a pencil that will allow them to turn themselves into a human circuit and draw a piano that they can play. A strong foundation of learning starts with hands-on discovery!
