BugBrain CoursePak

The BugBrain CoursePak, titled BugBrain 101, is an introduction to building and programming robots using Yost Engineering’s BugBrain robot kits. The CoursePak is designed for classroom, home school, extra-curricular and self-study, and is appropriate for ages 10 and up, including introductory college classes. Student Edition and Teacher Editions are available.

Upon completion of the course, when coupled with a BugBrain kit, students will have built an autonomous walking robot and used a computer and programming software to make their robot interact with its environment. Robots may be built by each student, or in teams of approximately 3-5 students.

A BugBrain course typically includes a BugBrain™ robotics kit, BugBrain™ assembly manual, the student book “BugBrain 101,” as well as a teacher manual including tests and handouts. Tools needed for assembly may be acquired with the Yost Engineering BugBrain Assembly Toolkit if not already available in the classroom.
