DIY Wooden Electric Plotter Drawing Robot for STEM Education

Our DIY wooden electric plotter drawing robot is an innovative tool for UK schools and universities, providing a hands-on approach to STEM education. This kit allows students to assemble and operate a device that converts chemical energy from a battery into mechanical motion, creating intricate patterns. The plotter’s operation is based on the principle of converting battery energy into motor function, driving pulleys and a connecting rod to move a brush in an elliptical trajectory, while a round wooden plate makes fixed-axis movements. By adjusting the belt’s installation and the angle between the angle iron and connecting rod, students can alter the disc’s rotation speed and the elliptical trajectory, thereby changing the patterns drawn. This educational tool is designed to enhance understanding of mechanical principles, electronics, and the scientific method. The kit is suitable for students aged 14+, aligning with UK curriculum requirements for STEM subjects. The product is CE certified, ensuring compliance with relevant safety standards. Technical specifications include a wooden construction, requiring assembly, and is part of a range of educational science kits designed to promote interactive learning and experimentation.
