All students are technologically literate, mathematically competent, and confident about their future. Use the motivational effects of robotics to excite students about science and technology. We have established the IntelliLabs as a way to help educators, students and parents with interests in robotics education get connected.

The IntelliLabs develops tools for students that make it easier to learn robotics curriculum into todays classrooms. Our curriculum is research-based, aligns with standards, and focuses on the development of 21st century skill sets in students

Why Robotics?

The robotics program is a multi-discipline program. It can be incorporated into every subject area. It offers the opportunity to integrate technology with the curriculum and the students love it.  The Robotics program facilitates: Teamwork Critical thinking Problem solving Applying science principals and Mathematical solutions.

The program integrates reading and writing, presentation skills, research, and creativity. In a nutshell, this program prepares students for the workforce of the 21st century.

The skills learned via this program can be readily applied and transferable to work in any industry. Parents who have observed children in these environments are amazed at what these kids are experiencing. Perhaps most importantly, it engages kids at all levels.

IntelliLabs program for students:

The students are given a task. The students build a mechanical robot to achieve defined functionality. These robots are often equipped with sensors to respond to their environments. These sensors include touch, light, temperature, rotation and others. The student then writes a program on their computer and downloads that program to the smaller computer located in the robot. This program determines how the robot will function and how it will react to outside stimuli. Defined tasks might start very simply and could become very complicated.

This program main agenda is students  build their team skills – an essential skill for working in the 21st century.
