Learning objectives

With the Cirkit STEMarm, you can learn fundamental engineering skills.

Arduino UNO

Learn how to program and build electronics using the Arduino UNO microcontroller.

Math

Apply math concepts from algebra, geometry, pre-calc, calculus, matrix math, and more.

Servo Motors

Learn how to wire and program servo motors, critical to a robot's motion.

Electronics

Learn how to interface basic electronics with the Arduino to expand its capabilities.

Coding

Improve your coding chops. Code with Scratch, Arduino Sketch, or C.

3D CAD Modelling

Learn how to design 3D parts using CAD modelling tools and to fabricate those parts using laser cutting.

How it works

Build

Assemble the physical components of the robot arm, including laser-cut parts and electrical components.

Code

Guided by video lessons, learn how to program the arm's functionality, from basic to complex behavior.

Activities

Leverage the arm's programmed functionalities to accomplish interesting tasks.

Extend

Add new sensors and attachments to expand the arm's capabilities and your learning.

Activities

Pick up and move objects

Control and program the arm's gripper attachment to pick up and move objects around, such as a ball or a glass of water.

Caligraphy

Using the arm's pen attachment, program the arm to draw shapes, letters, text and much more. There's so much to be learnt and accomplished with this one activity alone!

Balancing an object

Program the arm to balance an object such as a glass of water. Even control the arm's acceleration and deceleration for smoother movement.

Grasping delicate objects

Connect and program a force sensor, so the gripper attachment can close just enough to pick up delicate objects.
