Problem
K-12 educators often struggle to find comprehensive, hands-on STEM and computer science curricula that effectively engage students and prepare them for careers in rapidly evolving technology and automation industries. Existing solutions may lack real-world applications, multidisciplinary integration, and adequate support for diverse learning styles, hindering the development of essential coding, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.
Solution
LocoRobo provides K-12 educators with a suite of robotics and sensor hardware, coupled with a web-based learning management system (LMS), to deliver project-based STEM and computer science curricula. The platform enables students to build, pilot, and code robots, drones, and automated systems, fostering skills in coding, problem-solving, and critical thinking. LocoRobo's solutions offer flexible courses scaling from weeks to multi-year pathways in STEM, CS, CTE, Engineering, Mechatronics, Aeronautics, and Automation programs. The LMS includes video tutorials, formative and summative assignments, and assessment tools, supporting differentiation, collaboration, and individualized learning.
