Jellybots: STEM Program for Kids at Montshire Museum

October 11, 2022 by Val DiGiorgio

Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich, Vermont is currently hosting a 45-minute STEM program for kids that focuses on bioengineering, robotics and aquatic wildlife. STEAM scholarship founder and advocate Val DiGiorgio shares the details: 

At Montshire Museum of Science, a new program is teaching kids all about robotics in a unique way.  In the 45-minute program, children learn all about how to create ‘jellybots’: floating robots whose look and movements are directly inspired by the natural behavior of a jellyfish.  A bioinspired engineering project, this STEM program aims to inspire creative and practical implementation of science in the real world.  At Montshire, participants also have the opportunity to observe and learn about aquatic wildlife.  This initiative is open to children of all ages and the Museum hopes that participation will promote and encourage early interest in science, bioengineering and marine settings.  Val DiGiorgio loves the way this initiative works to create a dynamic between two seemingly unrelated areas of science: robotics and aquatic environments.  Multifaceted in design, Montshire is offering children the opportunity to learn about nature and electronic engineering and how these uniquely different fields can correlate.  There is so much to learn from simply observing the wonderful world all around us!  DiGiorgio is an especially big fan of how this event makes STEM fun for kids!
