New Robot Olympics Activity Guide Posted

I’m excited to say we’ve just finished and posted the, Robot Olympics, Activity Guide! This activity guide helps students understand math while keeping them interested by building robots to complete Olympic events and competing against each other. This teaches the principles of mathematics like: perimeters, estimation, speed and distance calculations, randomization, statistics, and ratios while training kids to think and build their robots iteratively. Iterative design is a principle of good engineering and science and shows that sometimes it’s worth it to return to your last design and apply newly concepts to build an even better robot.

Take a look at the new activity guide on the Resources Page and please let us know what you think in the comments.
