That sounds like a fantastic hands-on learning experience for kids! You’re using Project-Based Learning (PBL) to teach robotics, design, and electronics in an engaging way. Here’s a possible structure for your Painting Robot Project:

Project Steps:

Project Steps:

  1. Concept & Planning
    • Discuss what a painting robot is and how it works.
    • Brainstorm design ideas (types of movement, painting styles).
    • Sketch initial robot concepts.
  2. 3D Design (Tinkercad)
    • Design the body and mechanical parts of the robot.
    • Ensure space for motors, electronics, and paint mechanisms.
  3. Electronics & Wiring (Circuit Design)
    • Use Tinkercad Circuits or real components for prototyping.
    • Select EV3 as microcontroller.
    • Choose sensors, 2 DC motors as a actuators for movement and painting.
    • Wire and test electronic components.
  4. Programming
    • Write code to control robot movement and painting patterns.
    • Use block-based coding (for beginners) or Python (for advanced students).
    • Test basic commands and refine.
  5. Assembly & Integration
    • Build the final robot by combining the 3D-printed frame and electronics.
    • Attach a paintbrush or marker mechanism.
    • Ensure all parts fit and function together.
  6. Testing & Improvement
    • Adjust movement, brush pressure, or paint delivery.
    • Encourage kids to modify and personalize their robot.
  7. Presentation & Reflection
    • Demonstrate the robot’s painting skills.
    • Discuss what worked well and what could be improved.
    • Document the learning process.
