Imagine being taught quadratic equations using a quadcopter.
The RobotLAB BOX is a revolutionary teaching-aid demonstrating math and science's core concepts, using robots.
The online curriculum includes interactive lessons, in-class quizzes, and instructional videos, which help students understand why math is relevant to their world.
Without any prior experience in robotics or computer science, teachers can demonstrate abstract concepts like slope, sine, cosine, and vectors right out of the BOX. The lesson plans are strictly aligned with mandated Common Core, TEKS, and STAAR standards for middle and high school.
Designed by teachers for teachers this affordable solution improves student’s understanding and information retention; robots are the best engagement tool math and science classes have ever seen!
Many STEM projects focus mainly on the STE-, neglecting the M(ath) component. Meanwhile mathematics proficiency in high school students has fallen to 32% -- disqualifying many graduates from entry-level jobs. Our team of roboticists, engineers, teachers and professors are dedicated to fixing the education system using 21st century technology, bringing math to life and preparing students for their future, ensuring their career and college readiness.
RobotsLAB BOX moves abstract mathematical concepts away from the white board and transforms them into real life demonstrations. Students can see a quadcopter teach quadratic equations, a robotic car demonstrate angular and linear concepts conversions, and a robotic arm will show you what the word cosine really means.
Why RobotLAB Box?
- Simplifies Instruction - The online learning platform makes it easy to demonstrate abstract concepts in math and science without any experience in robotics.
- Improves Learning - Robots are engaging, and as visual tools they improve the information retention by more than 400% comparing to traditional practices.
- Developmentally Appropriate - The curriculum spans from middle school's Algebra I all the way to Pre-Calculus.
- Intuitive and User-friendly - Touch-based interface makes it easy to run the lessons and control the robots. The lessons come with instructional videos, quizzes, related standards and more, all at the tip of the finger.
- Pedagogically Congruent - Created by teachers, for teachers, each of the lessons is 100% aligned with Common Core standards.
- Effective - Our customers see excitement and engagement never seen before in the most hard-to-teach subjects.
- Innovative - Math is the "white elephant in the room", there are no other tool that brings real-world examples to the most abstract concepts.
Easy to use
No prior experience in computer science, robotics or programming is needed.
Every lesson was designed to bring abstract concepts to life by providing concrete demonstrations (when the robots are moving around) to the abstract concepts (equations, graphs). Explaining abstract relationships and equations such as quadratic equations, slope, unit circle and even piece wise functions, was never that easy and engaging!
The lessons are divided to three sections:
- Prepare - Familiarize the students with the subject and the interface.
- Demonstrate - Run the demonstration with the robot, and describe how the motion represents the abstract math concept.
- Investigate - Reinforce the learning, and challenge the students.
Standard Aligned Lesson Plans
RobotLAB BOX's lessons plans are aligned with mandated standards such as Common Core and TEKS (for TX). The standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what the students are expected to learn. The pathway to college and career is paved; RobotLAB BOX's lesson plans, quizzes and other instructional materials are a great way to make sure students will succeed in their future.
The RobotLAB Box Math gives you access to Engage! K12 curriculum for 1 year with the Standard version and 3 years for the Deluxe version.
