Robotics Education

For SpaceNut ... I asked FluxBB if we had any topics with the words "robot*" and "education"

It came up blank so I am offering this topic for posts about opportunities that are now or will become available for individuals to learn about robots at the home study level.

I am NOT promoting any of the products that will (hopefully) show up in this topic.

My intention is to try to make available links to opportunities, and to provide a place for forum members to report on their experiences.

We (forum) are on the verge of embarking upon support of a challenging educational activity involving robotics.

Whether a specific activity happens or not is irrelevant.  Anyone interested in robotics can gain valuable experience with consumer grade products that work with tiny computers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc)

To lead off, I'll post an ad that has been hitting my Internet feed ever since I asked Google what is going on with consumer grade robotics:

There is another ad that includes a video camera in the package.  I'll report that one as soon as it shows up again.

Re: Robotics Education

Many a high school and other higher levels of education do have after school programs as part of stem out reach that teach about robotics.
The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard does such out reach to high schools to build min submarines from pvc pipe and small motors called sea perch.

Re: Robotics Education

Here is the second robot education kit that I've been seeing in the Internet feed:

This one has a web came mounted in the "head" so the operator can see the work being done remotely.
