Frequently Asked Questions

Sure thing! STEMI wants to cover all industry 4.0 verticals (AI, robotics/drones, IoT, AR/VR, etc.) and we encourage you to use all our STEM programs if you wish to get and teach relevant tech knowledge, directly from the industry.

Robotics is a hands-on project-based program and AI tickles students’ imagination with all the possibilities of its application in the real world so both are very valuable for a young developing engineer.

STEMI creates industry-based STEM programs for middle and high school students. We adjust the level of complexity according to age and experience. For example, for both Robotics and AI have a middle school version that usually involves block programming for the coding portion of the program and in high school versions, syntax coding is used by students.

Currently, we have 2 STEM programs – Robotics and Artificial Intelligence STEM programs. 

Sure thing, if you are working in the tech sector and you want to pass your passion to younger generations or just work on your employer branding we will gladly consider cooperation.

Great, please let us know your idea and contact us on sales@stemi.education.

That’s great, we would love to cooperate with you. We will do the teacher training for you.

No, we work with a wide variety of partners, from specialized educational companies (companies providing STEM education to schools), via publishers, social impact partners and organizations and governments, all institutions included in the education ecosystem wanting to provide the best STEM education and programs on the market.

Please contact us at sales@stemi.education so we can explore how we can partner up. 

In case you break something you can always 3D print it out (if it is a plastic part) or you can order replacement parts with us or the company that sold you the robots. All the electronic parts have a 2-year warranty if used as prescribed.

Please contact our support via STEMI Chat or Email support@stemi.education if you have any problem with the parts.

If that is the case, please contact our support via STEMI Chat or Email support@stemi.education or get in touch with our partners who sold you the robots, we will resend the parts needed.

No, the parts are intended to be made for creating a Hexapod but don’t worry, there is plenty of fun and customization available with Hexapod as it is.

If there is a malfunction, please contact our support via STEMI Chat or Email support@stemi.education or get in touch with our partners who sold you the robots. We will make sure to get you back on track at breakneck speed.

Yes, you get a rechargeable battery that gives you 45 – 60 minutes of playing time with the Hexapod.

Sure, you can find the app on Google Playstore and Apple Store, download it to use with Hexapod or you can program one yourself.

Hexapod has many functions. First of all, it is a part of the Robotics STEM program and one can learn 3D modeling, creating a mobile app, and programming using Hexapod. It has many sensors, different walking styles, programmable LED lights, and many other functions. We have also added additional sensors to the platform so there is so much stuff one can do with our Hexapod.

Hexapod is made for middle school and high school students, grades 7 – 12.

Hexapod is a 6-legged walking robot that is a base of our Robotics STEM program. It comes in a box in parts and robot assembly is a part of the Robotics STEM program.

By logging in to STEMI Lab teachers and students can access classroom materials, teachers can communicate with STEMI staff and other teachers, and get deep insights into learning processes.

You can access STEMI Lab by visiting – https://lab.stemi.education/.

STEMI Lab is our innovative educational platform designed for immersive and scalable industry-based STEM experience. Both teachers and students use the platform to interact with digital content.

Teacher training, access to the AI curriculum for the teacher and the whole class, cloud consumption, and 24/7 support in program implementation are included in the price of the AI Chatbot program.

Sure, within the STEMI Lab there is a direct chat with our Educators who created the program and will help you to overcome any struggles in the classroom.

Yes, STEMI makes sure that you get enough training to run the program, either we teach you or our educational partners. Teacher training takes two 8-hour days to complete.

The program is modular and can be run either in 1 or 2 semesters, depending on the student’s age.

You can find the AI Chatbot program together with all digital classroom materials on STEMI Lab (https://lab.stemi.education/)

The purpose is for students to get to know the basics of Artificial Intelligence and to teach them how to build conversational systems, their own chatbots while mastering Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Additionally, students get to study UN Sustainable Development Goals, and using Design Thinking they build chatbot solutions that can be implemented in their local community for reaching SDGs.

For the first part of the program, you do not need any prerequisite knowledge as the students are creating their chatbots using Answers – block programming platform. 

For the second part of the program, students should have previous knowledge of Python programming.

We prepared a crash course in Python programming for those who never used Python.

The course is available on STEMI Lab.

No, the use of the Answers platform is included in the price of the AI chatbot program?

Answers is a high-end industry solution that is used to build your own chatbots. Using Answers students get to work in the same environment as industry professionals, simulating a real-life work environment.

This program is made for middle and high school students, from grades 6 – 12.

Yes. Hexapods are 100% reusable and are a one-time purchase. 

Yes, each classroom set comes with extra parts (servo motors, screws, nuts, etc.)

Yes, we teach 3D modeling in Onshape, Creating a mobile app in MIT App Inventor. They are cloud-based and open-source programs and are free to use anywhere in the world.

Sure, within the STEMI Lab there is a direct chat with our educators and engineers who created the program and will help you to overcome any struggles in the classroom.

Yes, STEMI makes sure that you get enough training to run the program, either we teach you or our educational partners. Teacher training takes 3 8-hour days of training to complete.

It depends on how you implement the program, you can do it “between the bells” or just take a self-standing Unit (Robot Assembly and Mechanics, 3D modeling, Creating a mobile app, Microcontroller programming) and teach it in the classroom. The program consists of 100 – 150 hours of classroom time, depending on the level of students.

We already prepared everything that you need to run the program in the classroom – presentations, courseware, e-books, teacher guides, student handouts, assessments, and rubrics.

Everything is on our STEMI Lab (https://lab.stemi.education/) and once you get there, you need to register and sign in and start using the program.

The standard classroom kit consists of 11 Hexapod robots and access to STEMI Lab, but we can also adjust to your needs. We also provide training and full support with the program implementation via our direct communication channel integrated within the STEMI Lab.

No, there is no prerequisite knowledge needed for the implementation of the RAS program. The program is prepared for absolute beginners, however, more advanced students that already have some skills will also be challenged and engaged with the program.

RAS is made for middle and high school students, for students grade 7 – 12.
