Mia – the new Girl Power Robot

Mia a VEXIQ robot that can be used for demos

STEM Robotics does a lot of community out reach. One of our areas of focus is getting more girls into STEM, specifically robotics. We try to have a buildable robot for them to use and take home with them.

The people at the Robot Education Foundation with the Girl Scouts have created “Mia”. We will be using Mia in all of our outreach. There are about 140 pieces and takes about an hour to assemble. Mia is rubber band powered and goes about 10-12 feet.

If you are interested in sponsoring a program (especially if you are a Girl Scout leader) please contact Foster Schucker. (The parts are pretty small, so you should target for 4th graders up and estimate about a 90 min session).
