Our ScooterArt Kits let students build their own robotic 'Jackson Pollock' to explore many principles of engineering and robotics. Each bot stands on three legs made of water-soluble markers and relies upon a battery-operated pulsating motor to slide and skitter around, leaving a colorful trail behind. What happens if you change the length of one (or more) leg? Change the motor's orientation or weight? Can you make your bot travel in a straight line? In a circle? Dozens of variables mean hours of open-ended experimentation! Available at teachersource.com/product/scooterart/stem
