$499.00 Status: Free shipping! Overview The Brainco STEM Kit engages educators and learners to explore STEM fields with an easy to implement, easy to scale kit modeled after real award-winning technology. The STEM-based activity and robotic hand teaches students concepts including programming, biomechanics, AI, engineering and more. Ideal STEM exploration while away from school - For at-home learners, the STEM Kit provides a series of curriculum units that can be self-directed at home. Clear learning goals from each unit provide definitive check in points and open ended design projects that can be assigned in a remote environment. Programming modules can also be completed completely in the browser with the option to extend to the available hardware. Through provided curriculum, hardware and programming tools, educators can excite students in Computer Science, STEM, Career Technical Education, Biomedical Engineering, Biotech and after school programs. Whether you are looking for a full class solution or an addition to your current tools, the STEM hand can add excitement and skill-building activities from one day to full semester time frames. Key Features
![]() About the STEM Hand You and your students are ready to build right out of the box. No sorting or additional work required! Clearly detailed assembly instructions along with tools and battery make the activity engaging and enjoyable for the student without much input from the teacher. About the Block-Based Coding Platform The BrainCo STEM Hand utilizes mBlock, a Scratch 3.0 enhanced block based programming platform. mBlock can connect to the STEM Hand directly through your web browser. mBlock can be accessed for free at https://www.mblock.cc/en-us. Learn more about setting up your hardware with mBlock here: https://www.brainco. tech/stem-kit-getting-started/ About the Modular and Expandable Curriculums STEM Hand compatible curriculums are organized into 5 modular activities and one challenge activity. Modules include:

BrainCo applies its expertise in machine learning, design, and neuroscience to create innovative brain-based applications in the education, fitness, and wellness spaces. BrainCo engineers created the BrainCo AI Dexus Hand, which gives an accessible way for amputees to use cutting edge artificial intelligence and neuroscience to naturally control a prosthetic with their own muscle and brain signals. Since then, amputees using this technology have played the piano for the first time, regained their ability to write calligraphy, and finally given a firm handshake. For these results and more, the BrainRobotics Prosthetic Hand was awarded the Time Magazine Top Inventions of 2019, multiple Consumer Electronics Show awards and has been featured on CNBC, the Today Show and more. This first innovation was because a group of committed engineers asked themselves how an issue they discovered could be solved. Now, we wish to ask our next question: “How do we inspire and educate the next generation of students to take on more problems in our society?” To achieve that end, we have created the educational experience in your hand with hardware that builds STEM competencies, curricula that inspires free thinking and a free design challenge that connects your class with MIT and Harvard engineers. We hope you can invite your students to show the intersection of their learning and solving a real world problem within a defined and exciting space. As the great educator John Dewey once said, “From the standpoint of the child, the great waste in school comes from his inability to utilize the experience he gets outside while on the other hand he is unable to apply in daily life what he is learning in school. That is the isolation of the school--its isolation from life.”*
