👥 For Faculty & Partners
The Robotics Initiative connects Purdue Computer Science with K–12 classrooms through hands-on robotics kits, teacher-ready curriculum, and student-centered mentorship. We invite Purdue faculty and external partners to help expand this work through meaningful collaboration and support.
Whether you're designing new robotics activities, writing a grant, or looking for a way to give back, there’s a place for you in the initiative.
🧑🏫 Classroom Connections
Looking to try out a robotics idea with students? We’ll help you team up with teachers who are excited to test new tools, give feedback, and shape classroom-ready lessons. These collaborations keep your work grounded, practical, and truly useful in K–12 settings.
📄 Grant Collaboration
Working on an NSF CAREER proposal or other outreach-focused grant? We can help you design a realistic, meaningful K–12 component that fits within the Robotics Initiative. From classroom access and teacher connections to kit logistics and curriculum scaffolding—we’ve got you covered.
💻 Ways to Support
You don’t have to co-design curriculum to make a difference. There are many ways to contribute:
- Donate robotics kits or equipment
- Sponsor classrooms, teachers, or student events
- Volunteer your time as a speaker, mentor, or classroom collaborator
- Host events or campus visits for teachers or students
