Big Hero 6, Self-driving cars, Mars rovers: The Whys and Hows of learning robotics

Explore robotics technology & careers. Plus get tutoring help for finals! Hello {NAME}, Self-driving cars, rovers exploring Mars, and robots capable of making fancy parkour jumps are all making the rapidly growing field of robotics more exciting every day. Because of its hands-on nature, robotics is also one of the best areas for kids to start learning technology and coding, before expanding into many other areas. [Let's explore what robotics]( has to offer! Also for students preparing for this year's finals, [be sure to check out our top-quality one-on-one tutoring sessions]( in a variety of subjects. Enjoy customized class content to meet your specific learning goals! [Learn More]( Robotics Industry & Career Opportunities The robotics industry is already a huge industry and still growing rapidly, expected to reach USD 75.6 billion by 2026. Robots are widely used in manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, hospitals, and even in our homes. Here are some of the top companies that build or use robots. [Learn More]( Key Technical Skills for Careers in Robotics How do self-driving cars "see"? Artificial intelligence, of course! Robotics is a rapidly growing field, and the skills and knowledge gained through studying it - from mechanical engineering to artificial intelligence and design - can be valuable in a wide range of industries and careers, making it a relevant and practical subject for kids to learn. [Learn More]( How Kids Can Learn Robotics Robotics spans a broad set of technologies such as general programing skills, AI, data science, and more. Below we focus on the foundational skills. Your student's learning path depends on their age and experience. Platform Best for grades Why it's recommended Classes for your student Snap Circuits (physical STEM kit) K-3 Best STEM kids for younger students. It's a great, safe way to learn electrical engineering such as sensors, circuits, and more [Fun with Snap Circuits Event]( Minecraft Redstone 2-5 Redstone is like the electrical circuit of Minecraft. It's possible to use it to build incredibly sophisticated automated machines in Minecraft. [Minecraft Redstone Engineering]( Scratch (block-based) 2-9 Scratch is the best way to start learning coding, as it introduces essential concepts that robotics builds upon. [Scratch Junior (K-2)]( [Scratch Ninja (2-5)]( [Accelerated Scratch (5+)]( All of our robotics classes below assume students are familiar with beginner coding. VexVR (block-based) 2-4 Navigate robots through a virtual world to gain a deeper understanding of how robots can be used to solve real-world problems - physical device optional. [Junior Robotics (1-2)]( VEX IQ (block-based) 4-8 Create within a virtual robot world using software, so you don't need to purchase physical robots, but the experience is just as powerful and fun. [Robot Adventures (1-3)]( Micro:Bit 2-4 This little device packs very powerful capabilities: LED lights, speakers, a microphone, and more. Coding is done in a simulator that works like a physical Micro:Bit so you don't need the device. [Lights & Beats with Micro:Bit (1-2)]( 3D Design 4-8 Learn concepts for 3D design and building 3D models, which you can turn into a LEGO building blueprint. [Intro to 3D Design]( Arduino 4-9 Design simple electronic systems for alarms, home sensing, motor controls, and more, and create code to control them. No physical device required. [Smart Devices: Arduino for Kids (1-3)]( Python (text-based) 5-12 One of the most popular programming languages for professional engineers. It's also the easiest text-based language to learn. [Python for AI (1-4)]( Artificial Intelligence 4-7 User-friendly applications for image recognition, chatbots, and machine learning. [AI Explorers (1-3)]( [AI Creators]( [Learn More]( Get Started With Robotics Free Event [Fun with Snap Circuits (Grades 2-8)]( Create a cool circuit system and learn the basics of electronics - Beginner Friendly Beginner Robotics [Junior Robotics (Grades 2-4)]( Code robots to move & sense in a virtual world - Completion of Scratch 2 Required Beginner Engineering [Minecraft Redstone (Grades 2-5)]( Build with RedStone, pistons, and observers, and learn engineering - Beginner Friendly Smart Devices: Arduino [Smart Devices: Arduino (Grades 4-9)]( Create with circuits and Arduino - Completion of Python 2 Required [Explore Robotics Classes]( Take care and keep coding!
