Draft:Storming Robots


Storming Robots is a robotics and computer science education center based in Branchburg, New Jersey. The program provides courses and project-based training in robotics engineering, computer programming, and computational thinking for middle- and high-school students. Its curriculum focuses on algorithmic problem-solving, software development, and engineering design through robotics projects and programming instruction.

History

Storming Robots was founded by Elizabeth Mabrey in New Jersey with the goal of introducing students to engineering and computer science through hands-on robotics projects and structured programming instruction. The program was established to emphasize computational thinking, algorithm development, and systematic engineering practices in robotics education.

Over time, the organization expanded its curriculum to include multiple levels of programming and robotics courses designed to support students interested in advanced STEM learning and technical competitions.

Programs

Storming Robots offers courses in robotics engineering and computer science for students typically ranging from middle school through high school. Programs include instruction in programming languages such as C and C++ for building machine-level intuition, robotics hardware systems, and software design principles.

The curriculum emphasizes:

  • Computational thinking and algorithm design
  • Embedded programming and robotics control systems
  • Engineering documentation and system design
  • Project-based robotics development

Students work on robotics projects that integrate software programming with mechanical and electronic components.

Competitions and Activities

Students from Storming Robots have participated in several technology and robotics competitions. These include:

  • RoboCupJunior, an international robotics competition focused on autonomous robotics challenges
  • ACSL (American Computer Science League) programming competitions
  • Zero Robotics, a programming competition organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and NASA. (see some past postings here -

Participation in these competitions is used as a platform for applying programming and engineering concepts learned through coursework.

Educational Approach

Storming Robots’ teaching approach emphasizes computational thinking and systematic engineering design. The program integrates programming instruction with robotics development projects intended to demonstrate the practical application of college level computer science concepts.

Instruction often includes algorithm design, debugging strategies, modular programming, and iterative engineering processes.

Location

Storming Robots operates from Branchburg, New Jersey, and serves students primarily from the surrounding region
