Description

S.C.R.U.-F.E.:  Simple C++ Robot with Ultrasonic-sensor for Earthlings :)  https://youtu.be/-_pw6N5LGGAI plan on using this design to promote the need for a realistic way to teach elementary and middle school students how programming can be simple and fun without the need for expensive kits.  Please share/print/code and keep the resources flowing for education!This Robot build started when my two year old daughter fell in love with an old ultrasonic robot that I built in elementary school twenty five years ago.  It's missing parts and no longer works, but she has treated it with love since she was one year old.  For her third birthday, I set out to make a sub $50 Robot with easily replaceable parts (see B.O.M. in instructions) that we could make together.  The fact that no individual part costs more than $10 and that all parts are easily found or open source gives me the hopes that SCRU-FE will be passed down to her children with all her great memories.    My daughter adores this Robot.  She named him Scruffy, so I made up a silly acronym that fits his silly appearance.

The Step2 Mighty My Size Table and Chairs Set is designed with toddlers in mind. Its vibrant colors and child-friendly height make it visually appealing and easily accessible for little ones. <a href="https://chairsteam.com/best-outdoor-rocking-chairs/">best outdoor rocking chairs</a>

<p>That is awesome to hear, let me know how it goes!</p><p>My middle school students love the one I made for class - some call it our class mascot. &nbsp;the only variation is that I used battery boxes with switches on them&nbsp;</p><p>SCRU-FE gives me teachable moments when the students pick him up and ask questions about how this or that works, getting students that otherwise would not care about programming to learn a little bit at a time. &nbsp;Its the best fifty dollars I spent on teaching aids ever.</p><p>I am hoping to do a fundraiser next year for ten of these that can rotate between our four middle schools as well as a PB metal simple and some filament since it looks like we will be in dire straits as far as funding from the state for next year and my personal 3D printers keep breaking down.</p><p>Good Luck!</p><p>Ryan</p>

<p>Printing it Monday at my Middle School in Calgary using a Printrbot metal plus. We have all the other parts. <br></p><p>I was hoping to buy a class set of BeoBots, but just can't afford them. Between this robot chassis and the Arduino Uno-Lego platform robot base I am hoping to find alternatives.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe this will get the students designing too.&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks</p><p>Tim</p><p>timothylee.ca</p>
