🔧 How to Create a Robotics Lesson with Curipod AI

  1. Click here to create a lesson

  2. Type a prompt like:


    • “Intro to robotics sensors for middle school”

    • “Lesson on gear ratios and motor torque in robot design”

    • “Team planning activity for VEX robotics strategy”

  3. (Optional) Paste in your standards, rubric, or build instructions

  4. Curipod will instantly generate a teacher-paced lesson, including:


    • Diagrams and drawing prompts

    • Scenario-based reflection questions

    • Live polls and open-ended discussion slides

    • AI feedback for writing or planning tasks

  5. Launch the lesson live or customize for your team or class

🎯 Every activity is designed to surface student reasoning, support iteration, and make thinking visible—whether students are coding, building, or planning.

🎙️ Built for Builders, Thinkers, and Problem-Solvers

Robotics isn’t just about the robot—it’s about collaboration, systems thinking, and rapid problem-solving. Curipod gives students the space to plan, test, reflect, and explain—together.

Curipod is purpose-built to support:

  • Team-based engineering discussions

  • Real-time coding explanations and diagrams

  • Reflective practice after a build or match

  • Dynamic teacher facilitation, not static slides
