STEMOTICS is a specialized robotics center in Cambridge, Ontario. It aims at providing children and youngsters with the right skills to expedite their learning, especially in STEM-related fields, and to express their creativity. STEMOTICS is about helping children explore their creative potential and to help develop their life skills.
We provide children with a continuous fun and interactive learning experience in a safe and healthy environment using robotics along with other supporting programs.
We provide schools and teachers with the opportunity to utilize robotics in the educational process through a series of TOT programs and specialized consultancy.We provide children, parents, teachers, schools and all interested parties with an interactive network utilizing our established relations with highly recognized institutions in the region and the world.
Instructors at STEMOTICS have been successful in helping children to learn and progressively improve their STEM skills through the use of mobile educational robots. Our instructors are active members of the local robotics community in the Ontario region and they have successfully coached FIRST Lego League student teams, World Robotics Olympiad, and World Skills. The instructors also run training seminars for LEGO MIndstorm EV3 and LEGO WeDo Programs for teachers.
