The Botball Educational Robotics Program, developed by the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics, is designed to engage middle and high school students in team-oriented robotics competitions. The program emphasizes the development of sophisticated strategies using artificial intelligence and embedded systems, with all robots being fully autonomous. Participants are exposed to an inquiry-based, learn-by-doing approach that combines intellectual challenge with creativity. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics and skills, including programming in C, C++, and Java, as well as the use of sensors to detect changes in light, distance, and color. Students apply science, engineering, technology, math, and writing skills to design, build, program, and document their robots. Critical thinking, decision-making, collaboration, and analytical skills are key learning outcomes, as students work under tight time frames and in team environments to develop solutions from a nearly infinite number of possibilities. The program is delivered through a series of workshops and competitions. Educator workshops, held from January to March, provide team leaders and mentors with necessary technology training and game details for the season. After a 7-week build period, regional tournaments are held where students compete with their robots. The program aligns with Next Generation Science and Common Core standards, providing a comprehensive STEM educational experience. While specific instructor details are not provided, the program is supported by professional development resources for teachers and mentors, ensuring they are well-equipped to guide students. The program is accessible to students with varied backgrounds in robotics and programming. Participants benefit not only from technical skills but also from teamwork, leadership experience, and potential inspiration for future STEM careers.
