DESCRIPTION
Create Robot Artists with the Science Buddies Art Bot, 5-Pack!
Inspire creativity and STEM learning with the Art Bot, 5-Pack — the perfect hands-on project for small groups of young inventors and artists. This kit combines art and engineering, letting students build wobbly robots that draw vibrant, one-of-a-kind patterns on paper as they dance, spin, and vibrate.
The Art Bot 5-Pack teaches core engineering concepts like balance, weight distribution, and motor mechanics through interactive, hands-on experimentation. Students assemble a simple vibrating robot using everyday materials, then explore how different designs affect its movement and artistic style. Along the way, they discover how offset weights create controlled vibrations in real-world applications, from cell phones to industrial equipment.
Perfect for classrooms, after-school programs, and STEM clubs, this kit encourages problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork while making learning fun and memorable.
Key Features:
- Includes materials to build 5 complete Art Bots
- Hands-on introduction to STEM and robotics
- Explores vibration, balance, and simple motor mechanics
- Encourages creativity, experimentation, and collaboration
- Ideal for small groups, classrooms, and makerspaces
Key Questions You'll Explore:
- How does the position of an offset weight affect a robot's movement and speed?
- What role does the center of gravity play in keeping a robot stable?
- How can controlled vibrations be used to create different artistic patterns?
- Why do unbalanced rotating objects create predictable movement patterns?
