Brushbots

Youth created brushbots, which are small robots that use a battery and a motor, connected by wires to create a closed circuit. The motor sends a vibration through the bristles, which causes it to move. Here, youth experimented with adding paint to the bristles of the scrub brush so the brushbot could paint on posterboard. This is an excellent example of bringing in multiple elements of STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Art.
