The RoboAchiever STEM Learning Enrichment Sytem

We all now know the importance and benefits of STEM learning for our youth to advance and

today's workers retain pace with new job demands. STEM stands for science, technology,

engineering and math. We hear it's important, but where do we begin? Isn't it simply too

costly, too hard, totally boring and just plain not worth the effort.

Well fret no more! At last, a fun, new, fresh approach to the STEM tech learning we now all

seek to engage. RoboAchiever!

The goal of our 4 sequenced RoboAchiever program modules is to create an exciting, fun

learning environment, in which students, teachers, parents, and jobseekers in pursuit of

retraining can collaboratively engage, that instills confidence, and inspires additional learning

and self-development in the STEM areas of math, computer science, engineering and

technology. We champion such educational studies as reveal promise for enhanced math,

science and tech learning when undertaken in a multi-disciplinary fashion, implemented on a

project-based learning approach.

The freedom associated with hands-on trial and error engagement, coupled with team student

interaction and common assistance, enhanced by physical, real-world interaction can increase

likely student understanding and retention of such math challenges and science concepts as are

confronted in our learning sessions.

Our business motto as revealed on our website is "Learning Discovered, Not Delivered", in

keeping with our belief in a hands-on, project-based learning approach.

From Basic Math to 3D Printing, we go beyond the traditional Robotics programs with a

sequenced learning curriculum that pursues a multi-disciplinary approach to learning. With a

program fine-tuned over 4 years of onsite study, customer feedback and implementation, you

receive the benefit of tested field refinement. The RoboAchievement Co LLC infrastructure is

geared to undertake the most demanding of program implementation environments and our

primary concern is on providing an economical and methodological approach to the process.

The following are key beneficial aspects of our approach:

Solution1: Instant turnkey STEM learning setup at your facility

Solution2: Accessible and affordable entry-level introduction to STEM learning without

presumption of prior tech knowledge or achievement level

Solution3: Flexible course delivery schedule to meet your onsite program delivery needs

We look forward to working with you to build a strong partnership in advancing your STEM

learning development goals for the population you serve.

In addition to the above-described course modules, we offer additional STEM-related products

and services to suit your varied needs, as further discussed in this Guide:

� 3-Session Mini-Mods (mini modules) based on Thames & Kosmos educational project

learning kits; perfect for Summer Camps or small afterschool programs (12 participants)

$450 (includes instructor fee)

� Robotics Nights – a day or evening event of 5 science and robotics-themed game

challenge events for youth, parents or caretakers (60 participants) $800

Youth Curriculum

ROBOACHIEVER The RoboAchiever program is designed to support and reinforce the learning that takes place

during the school day. It supports the development of numeracy skills through activities where

students apply math concepts they are learning in class. It is primarily geared toward

elementary grades 3 – 6. Through 4 game levels, it provides online study in the areas of Basic

Math addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; all in a fun hands-on, game adventure

learning environment.

RoboDigital

RoboDigital is an accessible, fun gateway to student STEM learning.

LEGO MINDSTORMS RCX ARDUINO DAGU MINIBOT

RobotC Programming Electronic Circuit Design Robot Construction

Our RoboDigital learning system provides a beginner’s program to the fundamentals of

computer programming, electronics, and robotic design and construction. The goal is to

advance the learner's skill level and foster their confidence and enthusiasm for continued

learning and discovery.

Adult Curriculum

RoboCrafts RoboCrafts consists of study of 3 segments: Helicopters – Mechanical Assembly – Hydroponics.

HELICOPTERS

In the first segment students are introduced to the basic physics of flight, and the

corresponding functions of the various helicopter and airplane components. Computerized

Real Flight Simulator program is utilized to implement simulated R/C helicopter flight

navigation, followed by actual R/C helicopter test flights made available to students upon

conclusion of this segment.

MECHANICS

In this segment students build a variety of R/C vehicles and structures using Thames and

Kosmos "Remote Control Machines" construction kit.

HYDROPONICS

The students plant seeds in water-based nutrient environment that they manage. They learn of

a plant’s basic nutrient and growth needs, as well the environmental hazards harmful to

growth.

MATH COMPONENT

The RoboCrafts program includes a foundational math enrichment component with focus on

Trigonometry.

RoboMachines The goal of this program is to introduce learners to the fields of mechanical systems and control

systems, the two additional knowledge areas beyond computer programming and electronics

covered in RoboDigital. From design to construction, here, in RoboMachines, we will begin with

computer-assisted parts and tool design and end with an introduction to parts construction

through 3D printing. The topics covered include CAD (computer-aided design) using Google

Sketchup, Blueprint Reading, CNC (computerized numeric controls), and 3D printing.

Pricing *

Program costs can roughly be calculated on a per-hour basis averaging $120 - $150/hr ($180 -

$225/session) which includes 3 workstation setups, laptop use with internet access, all kits and

materials returnable on course completion, and instructor.

NOTE:

Courses consist of 1-1/2 hr sessions and serve up to 12 learner participants for

recommended 2-3 sessions per week. Reduced cost implementation available if you take

advantage of our Free Professional Development training for your staff or volunteers to serve

as course guides in lieu of our instructors.

Custom-tailored, mix-and-match module component offerings also available at

like affordable prices.

* Post-publication fees subject to change without notice.
