STEM Kits

Put your sTEM Skills in motion!

AWAF is proud to partner with Magicbit, a leading developer of hands-on STEM Kits, to bring workshops into schools and organizations across Michigan. 

With a lesson plan curated specifically for the AWAF STEM Committee, students in grades 7 - 12 can learn the basics of coding for vehicle autonomy, including steering, signaling, vision and sensing, and more, in Python. Classrooms can select one or a series of lessons to be completed (each lesson takes ~ 1 hour).

• 02 - Steering: Akerman steering, controlling servo, map wheel angle to servo angle (use POT)
• 03 - Ultrasonic Shield: interfacing ultrasonic sensor, display distance on display, set threshold and buzzer tone

• 10 - Road Warrior: Building a Self-Driving Car with Magicbit Senses ( Wi-Fi control, abstacle avoid, signal lights)

These kits are a new offering!

As we trial this new program, AWAF is not able to offer kits for students or classrooms to keep at this time. Pending program success, we will consider expanding our inventory to allow classrooms to keep one or a handful of kits for continued learning and project ownership. We thank you for your understanding and your care in handling our Magicbit STEM Kits!
