Resources for using robotics to inspire interest in engineering

Abstract

Robotics is a fun and engaging way in which students can be inspired to study and pursue careers in engineering. This paper is a survey on available resources that can be used at middle school, high school, and college levels. These resources include robotics kits, as well as information on other robotics educational materials, such as curricula, that are available online. The different resources are compared, and suggestions are given as to which education levels these resources can be used.
