STEM-Tronics is an educational platform developed to introduce state-of-the-art technologies to a new generation of students. The goal is to expose students, at an early stage of their educational pathways, to the Engineering field by the interaction with different types of electrical modules and mechanical modules that can be connected together and build unique projects related to Mechatronics, Automation, and Robotics.

Robotics and Bioinformatics in visualizing the process of forming Amino Acids
The ribosome is a large and complex molecular machine that converts the instructions found in messenger RNA (mRNA) into the chains of amino-acids that make up proteins. The objective is to develop a robotic platform and a graphical user interface capable of mimicking the ribosome's roll in a living cell.

Engagement of High School and Middle School Students in Robotics: Solving Space Challenges in the Zero Robotics Competition
Zero Robotics is a robotics programming competition where the robots are SPHERES satellites inside the International Space Station (ISS). The competition starts online, where teams compete to solve an annual challenge guided by mentors. After several phases of virtual competition, finalists are selected to compete in a live championship aboard the ISS. An astronaut will conduct the championship competition in micro-gravity with a live broadcast!
