Last summer as part of our cornucopia of STEAM programs to celebrate the Year of STEAM at Pasadena Public Library, we put on a three-day robotics and engineering workshop for kids using Rokenbok<\/a> building sets and the Rokenbok curriculum. Kids were given challenges like the challenge to create a machine that could pick up balls from one container or pen and transfer them to another one. We used a remote-controlled robot but built extensions to it, like arms and joints, using different simple machines to accomplish the task. <\/p>\n

In the videos below, you’ll see the kids explain their creations and what their strategies were. I think the biggest challenge for some of the kids was working as a team, and managing their time. Those are always challenging things no matter what kind of work you’re doing! But they learned a lot. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
