Connecting Students to Ohio's STEM Future 🌟
Welcome to the official GitHub for TECHMobile Ohio! We go school to school across the state and set up immersive environments right inside Ohio high schools, delivering hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) experiences that spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of innovators.
We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. TECHMobile Ohio closes that gap by making STEM accessible, exciting, and relevant.
By traveling school to school across Ohio and setting up interactive innovation labs directly within high schools—prioritizing regions with limited access to STEM resources—we transform the traditional school day into an immersive adventure. Our goal is to demystify technology, empower students with real-world skills, and ensure that every student in Ohio, regardless of their zip code, can see a clear path to a rewarding, in-demand career. We are building Ohio's future workforce, one school visit at a time.
When we set up at a school, students get the chance to engage directly with cutting-edge technologies, including:
- 🤖 Autonomous Robots: Hands-on robotics, programming, and automation configurations.
- 🥽 Virtual Reality (VR) Systems: Immersive educational setups, simulations, and virtual environments.
- 📡 Advanced Sensors: Real-world data collection, IoT hardware setups, and telemetry processing.
- 💡 Partner Engineering: Advanced tools and resources provided in collaboration with various community and industry partners.
This GitHub serves as our collaborative space for educational tools, software configurations, and community-driven STEM resources. Explore our repositories to find:
- 📦 STEM Curriculum & Activities: Open-source workshop guides, interactive coding lessons, and instructional material used during school visits.
- 📦 Robotics & Automation Logic: Code scripts, ROS configurations, and logic frameworks for our autonomous systems.
- 📦 VR & Simulation Assets: Source structures and setups for the immersive experiences showcased to students.
- 📦 Sensor Integration & IoT: Codebases utilizing advanced sensors, microcontrollers, and telemetry data pipelines.
