Help ignite a passion for STEAM!
Join us in preparing Bristle Bots kits that will be distributed to kids to help them learn about science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) in a fun and engaging way. Your work will directly contribute to stimulating curiosity and hands-on learning in the next generation of innovators.
Bristle Bots are miniature vibrating robots made from toothbrush heads and small vibrating motors. They are simple to assemble and demonstrate basic principles of physics and electronics, making them a perfect introduction to (STEAM). This project is ideal for volunteers who want to make a tangible contribution to youth education and inspire future scientists and engineers.
Each Bristle Bots kit, which makes two Bristle Bots, will contain all the necessary components for one child to build their own robot:
-
Two toothbrush heads
-
One vibrating motor
-
One battery case
-
Two coin cell batteries
-
A pair of googly eyes
-
Two 1-inch pieces of double-sided foam tape
-
Assembly instructions and stickers for the box
- A pair of scissors
By preparing these kits, you're not just assembling parts—you're building a foundation for a child's future. Join us in making a difference, one Bristle Bot at a time, and help us inspire a love for learning and discovery in kids.
