In today’s rapidly evolving world, fostering an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) from an early age is more important than ever. One of the most engaging and effective ways to introduce primary school and middle-school students to these fields is through robotics. By integrating robotics into the curriculum, educators and parents can ignite a passion for learning, problem-solving, and creativity in young minds.

Inspiration and Challenges
Inspirational challenge or projects often based on seasonal or special events. Add images and videos to show how to create or where to find content etc.
Since the theme of this month is robotics, what about having kids design their ideal robot or droid? Indeed, you can encourage your young innovators to imagine, design, and build a robot that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, and watch as they transform their ideas into reality.
To guide you, here is a video showcasing how to design a cute and iconic droid.
Do you want to see your students’ or your kids’ designs on SOLIDWORKS Education Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram? Share their A4K creation on social media, mentioning #droid AND #swa4k, and we might feature them on our channels!
