iSTEM Assessment Task

Bristlebots primary purpose is to make robotics education accessible and affordable. Bristlebots is a way where everyone, both young and mature, can dive into to the world of robotics.

The chances are, you are probably next to a dozen robots right now. Your computer your using right now, the fire alarm above you head, your cellphones are all examples of every day robots that you use to assist you in real life. Bristlebots are introductory level robots assembled using everyday household materials.

Bristlebots is a simple to assemble robot where motion is caused by the transfer of kinetic energy from the motor, vibration, thru the robot to the ground. The bristles rapid motion, from the vibration, enables the robots locomotion.

One of our greatest challenges we face today is improving our nations education standards. Society calls for people with skills to address the increasingly complex needs and issues of society like curing diseases, creating energy, and more. Incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics to education is the next generation standards. And inspiring student to embrace STEM is part of the process to recovery.
