Collective Compute projects, submitted by our community of teachers, students, makers, and industry partners and allow anyone to address a real-world problem or personal, community, or global issue.
Project Examples:
Smart farming and agriculture devices to decrease food waste
Assistive technology to remove barriers to education
Smart home monitoring to reduce energy usage
Pomodoro clock to improve student achievement
Personal fitness tracker to promote physical activity
Collective Compute projects are submitted by our community creators and help beginners learn robotics skills. By offering smaller projects that students can easily try, it gets more people thinking about how to tangibly improve their community.
Projects use low-cost and familiar tech like used phones. Smartphones are often seen as a negative influence, but using repurposed phones in robotics projects takes advantage of the fact that youth already know how to use these devices, lowering the barrier to entry and making robotics approachable.
