Drawbots are unique, rebuildable, whimsical machines that move, scribble and draw. Learners build, test, deconstruct, and rebuild to see how small changes can create significant differences in how their bot performs.
This playful engineering bulk project pack features ready-to-build components for learners to create and keep. It's perfect for groups of up to 25, STEM activity stations, or special events.
It's a perfect 30 to 45-minute screen-free activity for grades 3 and up, with playful engineering extensions available in our educator guides.
Learners use repositionable and reusable colorful foam parts that connect markers, a battery, and a motor to generate vibration - and move! This hands-on project is a perfect introduction to the engineering design process. Each will test, redesign, and improve their creations, and collaborate with peers to solve challenges or combine their components through creative problem-solving.
