Ever dream of building your own robot — but don’t know where to start?

You’re not alone. Most robotics kits skip the why and overwhelm you with wires. Or worse — they stop at blinking lights and never go further.

You want more than a toy. You want to build something real. Something that moves, reacts, and even thinks a little. But where’s the guide that actually teaches you how?

Before: You’re jumping between YouTube videos, messy breadboards, and confusing CAD software… hoping your robot comes to life.

Build-A-Bot: Robotics STEAM Projects for Beginners with 3D Design, Coding, and Arduino

This hands-on robotics workbook gives you the exact path from zero to a fully walking, talking robot — no soldering, no fluff, no overpriced kits.

Whether you’re an educator, a curious parent, or a student ready to build your first bot, this is your complete project-based guide to mastering real robotics.

Key Features and Why They Matter:


Robotics Brain, Heart, and Body Modules: Learn how real robots are structured — build your own like an engineer

Electronics Made Simple: Plug-and-play servo motors, LED lights, and buzzers — no soldering or frustration

CAD and 3D Design: Step-by-step lessons in Onshape and Tinkercad — create printable robot parts from scratch

Block to Arduino Coding: Barnabas Blocks and Arduino IDE — control real hardware with drag-and-drop and C++

Modular Kit System: Build a walking Otto, a maze game, boats, and more — every chapter is a working robot

Classroom-Ready Materials: Includes lesson plans, objectives, challenges, and printable files — teach with confidence

What’s Inside:


Ready-to-print 3D files — STL files for heads, limbs, wheels, and bots

Otto robot curriculum — open-source walking robot you can customize

CAD and slicing guides — for both Tinkercad and Onshape workflows

Full electronics list — motors, breadboard, Dupont wires, batteries, and more

Programming pathway — visual blocks to real Arduino code using the Otto library
