Introduction to United Robotics 
Whoever said, “science, technology, engineering, and math can’t be fun”, never played with robots. At Innovation Tech we are “programmed” for fun and you and your students and community can be too!
 
United Robotics is a school-based or community-based robotics club for individuals, in grades 3 - 12) with intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and their non-typical peers.
 
Dedicated to creating robotics experiences to provide individuals with disabilities opportunities to make new friends, find new hobbies, learn new skills, and develop independence.
 
The Introduction to United Robotics workshop is for teachers, parents, youth mentors, scout leaders, or anyone else who is interested to learn how robotics can be used to create fun and exciting inclusive Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) educational experiences.  No prior robotics experience required.

Half-Day United Robotics Workshop
 
9:00am - 1:00pm
Saturday, February 22nd 
 
Working with other teachers and youth mentors, participants will build, test, and work on a robotics challenge. The VEX IQ robotics platform is designed to be simple and easy for students to use to explore all aspects of STEM education. Structural pieces snap together and come apart without tools allowing for quick build time for prototyping, testing, and making modifications. A variety of gears, axles, wheels, and other pieces allow for complete customization of VEX IQ robots.
