Testament to that, here are several products from 2015 looking to inspire the next generation of Makers.

With this in mind, many startups have sought out new and exciting ways to entice the younger generation to explore their creativity and develop an interest in hands-on learning. But let’s face it these subjects don’t come easy to everyone, so how do we instill STEM in kids? After all, these fields are changing the world rapidly within the areas of innovation, economic growth and employment. STEM education has been a growing venture in schools across the country, with even the President himself making it a priority to encourage students as young as grade-school to pursue the science, technology, engineering and math disciplines. These STEM toys from 2015 are helping to inspire the next generation of Makers. If you decide to create your own, you too can use a gamepad to command your little vehicle to cruise around the beach, impressing all who behold your tiny Russian-inspired craft!

Besides figuring out how to print the driving screws, this build appears to be relatively simple compared to how cool it looks. The little off-road beast uses two gear motors which are linked to the (comparitively) massive screw wheels. This machine is controlled by a Me Orion board ( ATmega328). Instead of the typical plugs for individual wires, it features eight RJ-25 sockets that simplify wiring when used with compatible parts. It does, however, show an incredible aptitude for maneuvering through sand, even with the occasional obstacle thrown in. This version’s screw-wheels are reportedly a little short, so it isn’t able to traverse on water. According to the builder of the modern screw-tank model seen in the video below, the original was “designed to cope with almost all kinds of landforms, such as snow, swamp, water, desert and forest, except normal asphalt road.”

This, of course, wasn’t good enough for the early 20 th century Russians, who decided to instead build a vehicle based on two giant screws. If you want to drive off-road, a 4×4 truck is generally sufficient.

We replaced the stepper motor driver to A4988, whose operation is much easier than Me 2H Microstep Driver V1.0. And the movement of the terminal is stable and precise since the improved dual-way transmission mechanism. Since we reinforce the structure, the XY-plotter 2.0 is stronger enough to be converted into MiniCNC, 3D printer, driller, laser cutting machine, etc. With the Processing and GRemote, the XY-Plotter 2.0 is a drawing robot basically, you can draw amazing pictures with Gcode.

Stronger structure, super easy stepper motor driver and laser-head compatible - Makeblock XY-Plotter 2.0 is a fully updated version of XY-plotter.
