UBTECH is an industry leader in STEM education, providing robotics kits for students of all ages and skill levels. These kits provide students with hands-on activities that allow them to develop the necessary skills needed to tackle real world issues.

UBTECH uKits allow students to tackle more than just science and engineering challenges. They will also gain essential skills for higher education, plus career and life skills such as computational thinking, adaptability, and troubleshooting. These skills will ultimately mold students to become more persistent and have more patience to problem-solve.

AI Foundations curriculum

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to become an integral part of education. UBTECH now offers revamped uKits, which are curriculum designed to teach and showcase how AI can be used safely and effectively in the classroom.

New from UBTECH, AI Foundations introduces K-12 students to AI concepts with a curriculum designed around the Five Big Ideas of AI, where they will engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. When exploring these five ideas, you will find tons of hands-on activities. These cover topics such as computational thinking, algorithms, data, and social impact. One of the many benefits of the AI Foundations curriculum is that it is all about learning unplugged! Going unplugged means that you do not need any robotics kits to complete the lessons and activities.

Best of all, you can purchase access to this curriculum without having to purchase physical uKits. It is not a requirement to have any robotics materials to implement this AI curriculum, which is a key asset from UBTECH’s offerings.

Get started with uKits

Along with integrating AI into UBTECH’s suite of products, they have also upgraded their grade bands, now offering the uKit AI for grades 3-8. The uKit is your all-inclusive solution for STEM, robotics, and AI. Students will learn robotic building, engineering, coding, and more within a multi-tiered curriculum.

The brain of the uKit AI sets is the new and improved Main Control Box, now with voice controls and a dual microphone and speaker component that allows AI to process natural language. It also includes a full sensory pack to incorporate various  elements of AI.

UBTECH mobile apps & more

To access this content, UBTECH now offers a uKit mobile app designed for beginner and intermediate users to be able to access their builds. In addition, students can also create their own DIY control options and action recordings.

For more advanced programming options, such as block and text-based coding, teachers and students can install uCode on their devices. With uCode, the browser-based program, students are able to access more advanced 3D modeling and AI integration.

UBTECH is your one-stop-shop for getting students engaged in robotics, engineering, and AI! So, what are you waiting for?
