Build your own robot from ground-up and take it home with you! This program introduces you to robotics and the multidisciplinary aspects of engineering including electrical, mechanical, and software! This class will take you from building your own gearbox to assembling the base including every nut and bolt to wiring all your electronics, and then programing using C! Our Pi-Bot is used by the ME100 class at Cal Poly Pomona's College of Engineering, UC Berkeley's Girls in Engineering Program and more! No experience is necessary for this course. Sign up your student (or yourself) now for a special robotics course like never before.Learn more about the Pi-Bot here.

STEM encompasses fields that are considered the core technological underpinning of an advanced society. STEM Center USA was co-founded by Melissa & Lavanya Jawaharlal, sisters and mechanical engineers with a passion for promoting STEM literacy for all. The Jawa Sisters believe in exciting students about STEM through fun, hands-on experience where real, meaningful learning occurs. In our programs, the "soft skills" of developing confidence, an "I can do this" attitude, and "mistakes are the best way to learn" mentality is just as important as the "hard skills" of programming, building, and design skills. STEM Center USA programs have been recognized by Vice President Joe Biden and appeared on the "Shark Tank" in Winter 2016.
