Take your TechBox 3-Kit Learning Pathway to the next level with the 3-to-5-Kit Learning Pathway Expansion Pack. This expansion adds two exciting hands-on projects—the Mini Robot Arm and Radio Controlled Car—introducing students to robotics, servo-driven motion, joystick controls, and wireless communication. Building on the electronics and programming skills developed in the first three kits, students progress into more advanced mechanical and remote-controlled systems.
Designed to work with the original 3-Kit Learning Pathway, this expansion provides the additional components and curriculum needed to complete projects four and five, while reusing hardware from the original kits. Educators continue to benefit from structured guides, standards-aligned curriculum, interactive 3D build instructions, and built-in assessments. Digital curriculum access is included with purchase, with no subscription required.
2 New Projects Included:
- Mini Robot Arm – Students build a miniature robotic arm while learning how joysticks and limited rotation servos work together to create precise, controlled electronic movement.
- Radio Controlled Car – Students assemble an RC car while exploring continuous rotation wheel servos, wireless communication, and remote-control systems using nRF24L01 transceivers.
How the Expansion Works:
The TechBox Learning Pathway is designed to grow alongside your students. Begin with the foundational 3-Kit Learning Pathway and expand into more advanced projects without replacing the components and equipment you already own.
- Already own the 3-Kit Pathway? Purchase this expansion to add the Mini Robot Arm and Radio Controlled Car projects to your existing classroom system.
- Want all 5 kits from the start? Purchase the 3-Kit Learning Pathway and this expansion together. TechBox will consolidate the materials into one complete 5-Kit Learning Pathway for streamlined classroom setup.
Why Educators Love It:
- Curriculum-Ready: Standards-aligned projects and facilitation guides make it easy to introduce robotics and wireless control, even without an engineering background.
- Builds on Existing Hardware: Reuses components from the original Learning Pathway, reducing unnecessary duplication while extending the classroom experience.
- Progressive Learning: Students build on foundational electronics and programming concepts as they explore increasingly complex systems.
- Hands-On Robotics: Students apply electronics and programming concepts to physical motion through servo-controlled builds and RC vehicle systems.
- Reusable by Design: Durable components, organized storage, and structured lessons support repeated classroom use across multiple school years.
Learning Outcomes:
By completing the two additional projects, students will:
- Understand how servo motors, joystick inputs, and programmed controls work together to produce mechanical movement.
- Explore wireless communication and the electronic systems used to transmit and receive remote-control commands.
- Apply foundational programming and circuit-building skills to more complex robotics and electromechanical systems.
- Strengthen troubleshooting, collaboration, and engineering design skills through hands-on problem-solving.
Classroom Packs & Packaging:
The expansion is available in 12-Pack and 18-Pack classroom configurations, designed to match the corresponding 3-Kit Learning Pathway.
- Expansion Purchased Separately: Includes the additional components and materials required for the Mini Robot Arm and Radio Controlled Car projects, designed for use with your existing 3-Kit Pathway.
- Expansion Purchased with the 3-Kit Pathway: Components are consolidated and packaged as a complete 5-Kit Learning Pathway, minimizing unnecessary duplication and simplifying classroom setup.
Device Compatibility:
TechBox LMS Web App : A single browser-based platform where educators assign projects, manage groups, and track progress while students access guides, complete assessments, and provide feedback—no downloads required. Fully compatible with ChromeOS, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android for seamless use across classroom and student devices.
What Educators are Saying
Real feedback from educators using TechBox.
"My students had such a great time with their Tech Boxes. Many, were so excited to accomplish the task that they were ready to take them home to continue the lesson.
You know what else was cool? All the kids who were running around after the lesson with Tech Boxes in their arms bragging to other students and fielding questions about them - they were so excited and proud!"
"TechBox offered the hands-on interactive & educational component to Centre College's high school STEM camp that we needed! The Laser Stem Matrix introduced the students to wiring bread boards and programming, and it sparked the interest of some potential engineers in the group! With a range of exposure to technology and electronics, TechBox was able to meet the needs of everyone - from the beginner to the experienced. The instructions were easy to follow and offered educational lessons throughout for those who had less experience."
