STEM education has become a focal point of educational development across the world with many projects being conceived to help spread STEM education to those without access. One such project is the Experiential Robotics Project (XRP) which provides a wealth of robotics knowledge at an affordable price. This IQP focuses on the development and subsequent measuring of curricular content for the XRP kit. We sought to develop a curriculum centered around student engagement and teacher usability in the hopes of democratizing STEM education. We then transitioned to developing surveys to collect feedback on how we could further improve the curriculum for future years. Through this work, we hope to have answered our research question: “What changes should be made to further maximize student engagement (as perceived by teachers) and teacher usability in a curriculum that we developed?”
