Tinkercad Circuits is a free online circuit simulator that runs in your web browser. You can use it to prototype circuits and even run Arduino code. Many of our tutorial videos use Tinkercad Circuits to demonstrate various concepts.

Design your own robotic hand for a science or engineering project! This video provides an overview of how you can make a basic hand or gripper using straws and string. For full science project instructions, visit our website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Robotics_p001/robotics/drinking-straw-robot-hand?ytid=KKvIygrPQvE&ytsrc=description
If you just want to do this as a fun activity, go here:…
Make your own radio-controlled (RC) boat using an Arduino and a plastic food storage container! Instructions, including a parts list, circuit diagram, and example code, are available on the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Robotics_p055/robotics/build-an-arduino-rc-boat?ytid=B6w-RKSVKLU&ytsrc=description

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) an access underwater locations that are difficult or dangerous for humans to get to. They can take pictures, videos, water samples, and gather other useful scientific information. You can build your own simple ROV using an Arduino and a plastic food storage container, and use it to record your own underwater footage or sensor readings. The design and construction of the ROV itself makes a great engineering project, and you can also use the ROV to gather…
Make a robotic gripper from a single sheet of paper in this fun engineering project! Instructions including hand-cut and laser-cut template files are available here:

If you are a teacher, we also have a classroom lesson plan version of the project available here:…
If you're ready to move beyond our basic origami robotic gripper design (https://youtu.be/a9Nn3ppWhK0), try out this advanced version! This one requires more intricate cuts and folds, but the resulting mechanism keeps the finger surfaces parallel to each other as they move! You can cut the template out by hand, but a laser cutter or vinyl cutter will make the job faster. The template is available for download from the Variations section of the project on our website:…
Learn how to the PING))) ultrasonic distance sensor from Parallax, also called a sonar sensor, with an Arduino to measure the distance to a target object. We have a separate video about the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor: https://youtu.be/n-gJ00GTsNg.
