bq robotics kitAn invasion of PrintBots is taking place at Studica. Design and print your own robot with one of da Vinci’s 3D printers and bq’s DIY: My First Robotics Kit. This bilingual kit is sure to electrify your students’ imagination. Just in time for Halloween, your little ones can put on their mad scientist gloves and build a creation of their own. All while learning the basic concepts behind robotics, programming and engineering.

bq is a Spanish company dedicated to designing and manufacturing multimedia devices and 3D printers. In its mission to make digital devices more accessible to people around the world, the company developed the DIY: My First Robotics Kit in an attempt to de-mystify technology. Most children – and if we’re being completely honest, most adults – are accustomed to using technology every day, but are intimidated by the seemingly complex nature of how their devices work. The truth is technology is not as daunting as it appears, and you certainly don’t need years of study to understand its basic concepts.

That’s where bq and 3D printing comes in. The DIY: My First Robotics Kit gets children to interact with technology in a natural way; through playing and having fun. Help your students lose their hesitation and begin to understand how robotics works. Combine creativity with project-based learning as students manufacture parts with 3D printing and assemble their robots with electronic components from bq. Recommended for ages 8 and up, this kit is sure to spark the interest of kids and adults alike.
