About the project

ARM IN ARM WITH TECHNOLOGY

RoboArm DIY is an innovative educational project dedicated to the electronics-mechatronics and mechanical engineering industries, implemented through an international partnership. Its goal is to build a school ecosystem where students independently manufacture modern teaching tools, combining the development of technical skills with a sense of agency and initiative.

A MODERN EDUCATIONAL ECOSYSTEM

The project will result in a comprehensive toolkit for the independent construction and programming of a functional robotic arm.

By integrating 3D design and printing (FDM), electronics, and robot programming and simulation in a professional environment, we are building a practical bridge between theory and the demands of modern industry. Students do not merely learn how to operate machines; they become their creators—from optimizing 3D models and selecting components to bringing the structure to life through code.

 

Through this approach, educational institutions gain access to high-quality teaching aids at a low cost, becoming independent of external suppliers and promoting a DIY culture in vocational education.

THE POWER OF EXPERT CONNECTIONS

At the heart of the project lies a unique blend of perspectives from two organizations with extensive achievements in the education sector. The Bright Future Factory Association brings years of experience in designing and implementing innovative teaching methods and digital educational products, merging advanced engineering expertise with a profound understanding of school-based didactic processes. Unikor completes this synergy with its expert knowledge in delivering accredited training for teaching staff and the effective transfer of modern technological solutions to educational institutions in Slovakia.

 

A key element of the project is the implementation and research of the developed tools in selected educational institutions. This approach, aligned with the principles of design thinking, ensures that the solutions are grounded in reality and shaped by user feedback.
