Using XRP for STEM and Robotics Skill Development Through Summer Camps and Educational Content

Discover how the updated XRP (Experiential Robotics Platform) is transforming STEM education! Designed for classroom use, summer camps, and team training, the XRP robot combines hands-on robotics, programming (Blocks or Python), and real-world engineering principles — all in an affordable, open-source platform.

In this session, teachers and FIRST mentors walk through how XRP is used in:
-Middle school and high school engineering classes
-After-school robotics clubs and STEM outreach events
-Summer camps with open-source game content (like Orbit Odyssey)
-First-time programming experiences using block coding or MicroPython
-Intro to AI and vision processing using the HuskyLens module
-Preparing students for FIRST Tech Challenge and other robotics competitions

Key Features:
-Built on Raspberry Pi RP2040 tech with major hardware upgrades
-Massive RAM and Flash expansion for audio, image, and AI applications
-Dual Qwiic connectors for sensor integration
-Open-source 3D-printable components (via Onshape & Printables)
-Free curriculum from WPI and camp guides with flexible formats
-Perfect for 5th grade through high school

Whether you’re running a summer camp, building a robotics curriculum, or preparing students for future competition — the XRP gives you the tools to scale engagement and grow technical confidence.
