Robotics is a tool that encourages students of all ages to explore, experiment, and experience STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in a hands-on constructionist environment. See the process of designing building and programming robots using the LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System. Discover how sensors can be used to gather data for analysis. Learn how to use robotics in the classroom to support student exploration and learning across the curriculum.
