Lesson plans

BIPLANE
This robot may not fly, but it moves fast thanks to an advanced gear transmission that you’ll learn to assemble and program. Learn about aviation history and how many years it took to turn dreams about flying into reality.
MINE RAILWAY
Build your own mine railway with a wagon on tracks and a machine unit. Find out what role it plays in mines and devise methods to operate it – with a drum winch, control stick and programming blocks.
PUMP
What’s the deal with oil? Learn about fossil fuel extraction and discover how to convert rotational motion into linear by creating equipment used to extract petroleum from under the ground – the so-called pumpjack.
WIND TURBINE
It’s tall, it spins and amazingly, produces energy at the same time. Learn all about how it works by assembling this motor-powered wind turbine model and program it to count the blades’ revolutions.
MANIPULATOR
Most often found in laboratories and factories (but also in space!), this neat robot moves items or specimen from one table to another. Create a worm gear to make it precise, then make a program to control your manipulator!
LIFT
Build this model for hands-on insight into how real lifts operate. Connect the motor with the winch winding and unwinding the rope, then program it to easily get passengers to the top. Enjoy the ride.
BATHYSCAPHE
Create a clawed model of deep-sea submersible used for underwater exploration, the speed of which varies depending on the distance sensor readouts. Plunge into the history of the sea exploration!
AIRPLANE
Whether you’re driving, or flying, steering is simple only on the surface. Find out what technological solutions are found in modern planes, then assemble and program your personal robotics airplane model.
HELICOPTER
Indispensable in emergencies. Create a helicopter model with motor that powers main and tail rotors at the same time. Add a sensor to detect the robot’s position, just like real helicopters do, some code and voila!
FIRE TRUCK
Take a peek into firefighters’ everyday work and role by building this beautiful fire truck model with an extendable ladder and a rack gear. Make use of the tilt sensor to code interesting programs.
FORKLIFT
Essential in any warehouse around the world. Forklift must be stable and very mobile to transport packages – just like this robot. Build one yourself and program it to lift and lower your cargo.
CRANE
What could Archimedes have to do with modern harbors? Learn about physics, construction of turntables and basic programming, all in the process of creating your own robotic crane model.
