Tenth Grade, Robotics STEM Activities for Kids (7 results)
Robots are made to go and do what humans either can not, or do not want to do.
They are used in hundreds of ways from exploring Mars, to working tirelessly on a manufacturing line, to providing companionship.
Not to mention they make great movie characters!

How do you steer a drone using a controller with a joystick? Find out in this activity as you program an Arduino to interface with an analog joystick, similar to those found in most video game controllers. You can use the joystick to make a mini popsicle stick drone tilt side to side or move up and down.

Did you know that the seaweed you've seen in the ocean or even eaten as a snack is inspiring innovators to imagine new materials? Large
brown algae, like kelp, contains polymers—long chains of molecules—that are more environmentally friendly than the ones in most plastics. These natural polymers (alginates) could eventually be used to create sustainable everyday objects. Try your hand at using a bit of chemistry to turn biodegradable polymers from algae into your own custom…
