Robotics has tremendous use in education and has helped improve daily life operations. Furtheradvancements in miniaturization, automation, lightweight, and artificial intelligence technologies are atthe forefront of current research for long-term usability [1-2]. Manufacturing robots as a pedagogicalpractice promotes student learning in different entities of the engineering field. Specifically, it involvesknowledge of programming, electronics, design, and fabrication; thus, critical thinking and problem-solving stimulation are inevitable. Moreover, robotic competitions help train and motivate youngstudents in STEM education as the engagement provides stimuli to solve tangible societal problems [3-6].

The reasoning is that land grant institutions wouldcreate a core of citizens with an education rich in agriculture and mechanics who would furtherthe goals of the Nation. However, service-learning as we think of it today did not really start toevolve until the 1960s when VISTA
