Challenges – Smart Buddies

In this Applications in Engineering video, Aaron Locke talks about robotic lift mechanisms. Whether it's lifting an object high into a goal or just picking something up and moving it to a new location, this is a common task in many engineering challenges and robotics competitions.

This task includes three flight scenarios. We are going to show you some examples of how you might set up your course.

Drones are becoming a go-to for countless industries. Having the certification to fly a drone is not enough in the industry, the drone is simply a tool – the application is what counts. Find out how we are incorporating drones in this ALL NEW SkillsUSA Competition!

Get equipped for the SkillsUSA Drone Competition with these safety guidelines to ensure participant safety.

In this series, Application in Engineering, we introduce two different shooting mechanisms you can add to your robot. Aaron Locke, our Robotics Curriculum Specialist, shares how to build a flywheel mechanism and a striker system while also going through the benefits and the drawbacks of each.

So glad you are here at ISTE 2020! Welcome to the Pitsco Education booth! Say hello or ask a question in the chat or join one of our demos. A few things you won’t want to miss: 1. Drones - code-based options, competitions, and certifications. 2. Code Cube Giveaway! Win wearable tech for your class! 3. Coding for early learners starts with TTS Bee-Bot® and Blue-Bot®. 4. Smart Buddies is a unique coding tool and curriculum that builds programming skills and diversity awareness. 5. STEM Boxes bring hands-on to any learning environment.

Hands-on, minds-on learning can happen anywhere and everywhere . . . and we definitely believe and encourage that. With STEM Boxes, you can watch your learners thrive while learning from school, home, or anywhere in between! Everything you need all in one kit | Activities for learners of all ages

We aim to deliver transformative learning experiences that prepare students with future-ready skills. Through our programs, students experience a combination of teacher-led instruction and student-directed learning using a blend of strategies and delivery methods. Not only do students engage in learning, but they also acquire and strengthen their knowledge throughout a variety of hands-on, true-to-life projects and themes. Service sets us apart. From creating tailored curriculum programs to offering STEM professional development and delivering on- and off-site technical and educational support, our professional services provide a comprehensive experience, enhancing the fidelity of implementation and maximizing a program’s effectiveness.

Expeditions are flexible and hands-on, blending teacher-led instruction with student-directed activities through a cloud-based learning content management system. Students from all walks of life experience success through our unique open-ended multimodal instructional design. Student-centered. Collaborative. Engaging. Hands-on. That’s STEM Expeditions®. See how this middle school curriculum works, hear from educators facilitating it in their classrooms, and learn how to bring this program to your classroom.

Get ready for code your students can wear! Code Cube™ is a wearable tech learning tool that offers teachers and students a true coding experience not based around a robot. Join Molly in this in-booth demo to learn more about Code Cube!
