An outreach project focused on teaching engineering principles through hands-on robotics demonstrations.
Learn More
The Robotics Traveling Van (RTV) project aims to expand K–12 access to hands‑on STEM learning by providing portable, engaging robotic systems that demonstrate real engineering principles. Demonstrating these principles shows students mechanical design, electronics, and programming in an interactive way, the RTV initiative brings these experiences directly to classrooms in a robot form. To support this mission, the RTV capstone focuses on two interactive demonstrations: Robot 1, a self‑balancing inverted pendulum; and Robot 2, a ball‑on‑beam control system, developed from the Fall 2025 to Spring 2026 semesters. These platforms are designed to be easy to assemble and robust enough for repeated outreach events, enabling students to explore core STEM concepts through live and dynamic demonstrations.
