Problem Statement Since engineers are in high demand it is
necessary to educate more people in the field of engineering. By introducing science and engineering to young students, particularly grades three through six, they will gain a better appreciation for necessary scientific skills. Therefore by creating software and the necessary tutorials to accompany Cybot and/or OSCAR, students will gain more knowledge and interest in pursuing an engineering related field.
