Open Robots:
An Educational Non-Profit
Our mission is to gamify and democratize access to robotics and AI learning for K-12, and University students. We provide schools, institutions and community centers with the curriculum and hardware to carry out this objective while partnering with robotics and AI industry subject matter experts to facilitate mentorship and stay current.
Collaborating with Transparency
Every single dollar donated is tracked and published in our quarterly report.
Our curriculum is freely available, we leverage open source resources and mentorship from industry experts to continually evolve the curriculum.
At the end of the calendar year, a competition is held where students are able to compete with other teams for scholarships and cash prizes.
Winning teams are required to share any and all modifications or techniques so that all other participants going forward can evolve together.
Our efforts will help children improve practical abilities. The underlying premise is to gamify the curriculum so that students can quickly grasp the principles of robotics to more easily be able to integrate mechanical devices and algorithms into the robots. This project is also designed to foster creativity and promote enjoyable learning through the assembly of diverse robot examples.
Our Approach
We utilize OpenRobotics open software and hardware platforms for robotics. Working with the global community, we intend to utilize the following open platforms: ROS, Gazebo and Open-RMF. We intend to program robots with ROS, simulate them with Gazebo, and interoperate systems using Open-RMF. These platforms are widely used around the world, from production deployments to classroom projects.
Unlike simple, repetitive program training, STEM Standard explains from the very basic of programming to the advanced scientific principles in details (4 bar linkage mechanism, centrifugal force, centripetal force, sound element, differential gear, steering mechanism and etc.), so that it allows you self-directed learning by solving various problems on your own.
