Description
STEM Self-Build Crawler Robot Project – Class Set of 20
Introduce your students to robotics with this exciting, hands-on STEM challenge! The Crawler Robot Project lets students build a motorised, bug-like robot that uses linkages and legs to crawl across the surface — teaching motion, mechanics, and simple circuits in a fun and accessible way.
Designed for Years 3–6, this class set of 20 individual kits includes everything needed for students to design, construct, and operate their own walking robot. With a mix of creativity and engineering, students will learn how motors convert electrical energy into mechanical movement and explore the mechanics of crawling locomotion.
Perfect for STEM clubs, extension programs, or in-class enrichment.
