Unequalled Power, Versatility, Ease-Of-Use, & Engagement
EZ-Robot is an exceptional solution for robotics education from primary schools, up through high schools and into higher education.
It's a modular robotics platform that allows students to start with our pre-defined robot kits (Humanoid, Rover, Hexapod, Adventurebot), and advance to designing and building custom robotic applications using components like servos, a camera, and sensors.
Students can even begin learning about Artificial Intelligence, using advanced A.I. like ChatGPT and Microsoft Cognitive Services.
EZ-Robot is a comprehensive solution that includes robots, curriculum, training, and strategies to help educators implement successful robotics programs. It's perfect for advanced teachers and those just starting out. The majority of educators that we've trained had no prior robotics or programming experience.
Schools that have implemented EZ-Robot into their robotics and computer science programs have reported that enrollment has increased by up to tenfold overall, with girl enrollment increasing dramatically more.

Why Robotics & A.I. Literacy is Important for Everyone
- We are in the midst of the largest workforce transition in history.
- Robotics and artificial intelligence are being implemented across all industries.
- The McKinsey Global Institute forecasts 400 - 800 million jobs could be displaced by automation, over the next 6 years.
- During this same time, millions of new high-tech jobs will emerge, and millions of other jobs will evolve, requiring stronger tech literacies.
- The changes are so pervasive that the World Economic Forum is forecasting that 1 Billion people will need re-training by 2030.
- People with Robotics and A.I. literacy have an advantage across all industries and careers.
- Countries / Regions with a workforce that is Robotics & A.I. Literate will have a significant economic advantage.
- EZ-Robot is the best educational robotics platform to meet this challenge. (Industry best for Power, Ease-of-Use, Versatility, Engagement)

What Makes EZ-Robot Different?
EZ-Robot is an exceptionally powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use educational robotics platform.
Our advanced users have made drink dispensing droids and life-sized humanoid robots. At the same time, our platform is so easy to use, that students can program advanced robotic features like speech recognition & vision tracking, and learn about Artificial Intelligence with ChatGPT and Microsoft's A.I. (Cognitive Services). Perhaps more importantly, students love EZ-Robots. We've received feedback from schools that have implemented our robots into their robotics and computer science programs that their enrollment in those subjects increased by up to tenfold. It's truly incredible to see! |
Top Reasons Educators Love EZ-Robot
- EZ-Robots are incredibly easy-to-use and are suitable from 4th grade through University. This is great for students AND teachers.
- We provide free training for all educational clients. We've helped hundreds of schools successfully implement world-class robotics programs.
- We have a self-directed curriculum - any teacher can successfully teach robotics and coding, with zero prior robotics or coding experience.
- Our curriculum is aligned to national and state standards. As robotics and computer science education standards evolve, EZ-Robot's power, versatility and expandability ensure your robotics program is cutting edge and meeting educational requirements.
- EZ-Robots provide industry-best power, allowing students to achieve high levels of proficiency and mastery. Advanced users have built life-sized humanoids, drink dispensing droids, submarines, and snow shoveling robots. Students can program advanced features like Speech Recognition, Vision Tracking and learn about artificial intelligence with leading A.I. like Microsoft's Cognitive Services & ChatGPT.
- EZ-Robots are exceptionally versatile. Our robots can be programmed with Blockly, Python, and JavaScript, allowing EZ-Robot to scale with your students. Our products can also be used with hundreds of sensors including infrared, ultrasonic, LIDAR, accelerometer, gyroscopes, O2 sensors and more.
- EZ-Robots combine the benefits of "robots" and "robotics platforms". Robots tend to be more engaging initially and allow students to learn robotics and coding more quickly. Robotics platforms that allow students to build custom robots have benefits in engineering and design thinking. EZ-Robot is a robotics platform that can initially be used like "robots" to allow students to quickly build literacy and confidence, and then elevate their learning by building custom robotics applications.
- EZ-Robot appeals to equal numbers of boys and girls, across all levels of academic ability. Schools have seen enrollment in robotics and computer science increase by up to 10x overall with girl engagement increasing dramatically more. EZ-Robot solves the gender gap that exists in STEM education.
- EZ-Robot is affordable and can provide students with robotics and A.I. literacy for as little as $7 per student (when schedules are optimized, and the price is amortized over 5 years).
- EZ-Robot offers enduring value, protecting your school's investment. Most robotics products start becoming obsolete the day that the boxes arrive at the school, but with EZ-Robot, our robots are constantly improving. Schools that bought EZ-Robots 7 years ago didn’t know that their robots would be able to be controlled by smart phones, but that feature was added. Schools that bought EZ-Robots 3 years ago didn’t know they would be able to use Microsoft’s A.I. (Cognitive Services), AIMLbot, ChatGPT, or Virtual Reality Glasses, but these features were added. Our customers from 10 years ago have a more powerful robot today than they did the day they received their robots.
- EZ-Robot's CEO, Dennis Kambeitz, is globally recognized as a leader in robotics and coding education. He is invited to speak at education and technology conferences from around the world, and has also been asked to share his knowledge and insights with the IEEE, APEGA, CHOA, SPE, as well as Mining, Exploration, and Supply Chain conferences. EZ-Robot's close connection to industry means that educators can be assured that they will always have a strong robotics program that remains relevant within the real world.
- Robotics and coding are a great way to teach students engineering processes, design thinking and improve critical thinking. These skills translate across all subjects and lead to better overall student performance across all STEM subjects.
- Our versatility and ease-of-use mean that educators can use EZ-Robots across multiple subject areas - bringing highly engaging project -based learning into a broad range of other STEM subjects.
- Our website features dozens of free tutorials, lessons and activities that you can do with your students. The software includes dozens more code samples to allow you to do a broad range of activities.
- We provide our users with STL files for all the plastic components for our robots allowing them to quickly print replacement parts or customize their robot's appearance and functionality.

Why All Students Need Robotics and A.I. Literacy
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are transforming the workplace. These technologies will impact all industries and a broad range of careers. Robotics education isn't just about creating "roboticists" and "programmers". It's critical that all our students gain literacy in these areas. This information has been described as "paradigm changing" and "something that every educator needs to understand". |

Robotics Education through Inspiration
We offered to do a 30-minute presentation after school, for a group of 6th grade students, starting at 3:15. They loved what the robots could do, so we thought we would let them give the robots a try. We eventually needed to kick them out at 6:00pm so we could go home for dinner. This is a very typical result. Students LOVE EZ-Robots! |

JD Sings an NBA Christmas Carol
The NBA was excited to have JD sing a custom Christmas Carol to inspire sports-oriented youth to learn robotics and coding. Filming this video required filming JD doing the same song/dance in each of the jerseys of the NBA teams who were playing on Christmas Day. This video is a great example of putting the "A" in STEAM, and using robotics to reach a broad spectrum of children. NBA Uniforms used with permission from the NBA. |
