How to Build a Successful Robotics Club

(Asynchronous Course)

When people think robots, they think robots crashing into each other in an attempt to destroy one another’s team build.  However, robotics emphasizes many STEM fluency skills to orchestrate a well-designed, well-built and programmed robot that is thoroughly documented by a cohesive team of a collection of individuals.  Robotics is for every student of every ability level; a team just needs guidance and support to show them what success looks like.  This training will take you through the processes to building a successful robotics club that will seamlessly integrate into your school culture and become a vehicle for STEM outreach.
