Abstract

Background/Objectives: This study was conducted for the purpose of designing and evaluating the MIRA Learning Package as an alternative learning tool and a robotic simulation technology solution in providing a set of experience to facilitate the student's learning development experience for STEM Education. Methods/Statistical analysis: The study used the Descriptive and the Design methods of Research. The Design method was used in the construction of a functional prototype, designed specifically to serve as an industrial-like robotic manipulator training kit for students’ simulation exercises. Findings: Descriptive method with the use of a questionnaire was used in the analysis of the data gathered. The analysis of data revealed the findings that the Mini-Industrial Robotic Arm (MIRA) Learning Package is an innovative educational platform aimed at providing diverse learning experiences to facilitate student's acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitude for the design, analysis, application and operation of a robot arm. Improvements/Applications: Instructional Manual serves as the students’ guide in learning the concept of robotics and its application in other STEM related subjects.
