WaterBotics is an innovative, underwater robotics curriculum that can be used in traditional classroom settings or in after-school and summer camp programs.
Teams of students work together to design, build, program, test and redesign underwater robots, made of LEGO® and other components.
Students engage in a series of design challenges or "missions" that gradually increases in complexity and ultimately leads to a fully functional underwater robot capable of maneuvering in a 3ft deep pool. This introduces students to the concept of iterative design and demonstrates the value of testing and redesign.
The WaterBotics program is currently being run in 5 after school sites in Paterson, NJ through the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic and its satellite locations.
