The SPROUT Application
An app to engage the under-served in STEM
Our team is currently in the process of developing an app dedicated to supporting the endeavor of children in hospital to learn about robotics. Currently, the Texas Children's' Hospital offers some of their patients Vex robotics kits, but struggle to offer additional support for teaching the children how to use the kits. Our app aims to provide written and video tutorials, information about different careers and tools, and augmented reality that can bring computer aided designs to life.
