Why Robotics & A.I. Literacy is Important for ALL Students
- We are in the midst of the largest workforce transition in history.
- Robotics and artificial intelligence are being implemented in all industries.
- Forecasts show that 20-47% of jobs will be eliminated within 10 years due to technology, while millions of new high-tech jobs will emerge.
- Millions of remaining jobs will evolve and become more high-tech.
- The changes are so pervasive that the World Economic Forum is forecasting that 1 Billion people will need re-training by 2030.
- Students with Robotics and A.I. literacy have an advantage across all industries and careers.
- EZ-Robot is the best educational robotics platform to meet this challenge. (Industry best for Power, Ease-of-Use, Versatility, Engagement)
Student Engagement
Schools that have implemented EZ-Robot into their robotics and computer science programs have reported enrollment increases of up to tenfold overall, with girl enrollment increasing tangibly more.
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 elementary students can program advanced robotic features like speech recognition and vision tracking, and learn about Artificial Intelligence with 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 10 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, ensuring that any teacher can successfully teach robotics and coding, with zero prior robotics or coding experience.
- EZ-Robots are incredibly powerful, allowing students to achieve high levels of proficiency and mastery. Advanced users have build life-sized humanoids, drink dispensing droids, submarines, and snow shoveling robots. Students can program advanced features like Speech Recognition, Vision Tracking and learn about A.I. with a range of 3rd party applications, including Microsoft's A.I. (Cognitive Services).
- EZ-Robots are incredibly versatile. Our product can 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. That said, robotics platforms that allow students to build custom robots has benefits in engineering an design thinking. EZ-Robot is a robotics platform that can 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 offers schools a world-class robotics education 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 school's investment. Most robotics products start becoming obsolete on 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), or AIMLbot, or BotLibre, or Virtual Reality Glasses, but these features were added. EZ-Robot’s customers that bought robots 10 years ago have a tangibly 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 conference 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.

EZ-Robot "Kit" Overview Video
EZ-Robot is an incredibly powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use robotics platform. Experienced users have made life-sized humanoid robots, submarines, and snow-shovelling robots... while students as young as elementary schools can program robots with advanced features like speech recognition, vision tracking and artificial intelligence. This video showcases our base products that schools use to increase enrollment in robotics by up to ten-fold. |

JD Sings a 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. |

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! |

Arbee - The Drink Dispensing Robot Video
Check out this drink dispensing robot that looks like it's straight out of the Cantina on Tatooine. It was made by special effects guru, Will Huff, who also does Gamora's make-up in Guardians of the Galaxy. Will had no robotics experience prior to working with the EZ-Robot platform. If you're a fan of Star Wars, you'll love the 2-minute theatrical piece at the start of this video. |
