Manipulatives allow young children to learn, developand then build simple structures without needing a civil engineer to scaffold their knowledge. Why shouldcomputing be any different? The use of manipulatives in K-16 classrooms has already been well established. Research ofmanipulatives in fields that are more theoretical and abstract in nature, such as mathematics, are alsobeing to emmege4-7.

K-12 Students1. IntroductionRecently there have been a rising popularity in the use of robotics as a vehicle to expose K-12students to the STEM disciplines. A common practice is to have the students build remotecontrol robotic vehicles for competitions such as the various First USA Robotics Competitions1.However, the robotics profession is not just focused on remote controlled mobile robots butrather involves stationary industrial arms running autonomously doing repetitive tasks. Ourapproach is to go beyond having the students simply build the robot and control it using a remotecontrol to teaching them more advanced engineering concepts more closely related to theprofession. We still aim to introduce STEM, and engineering in specific, to K
