Building Bots & Inspiring Kids: Droid Maker Steve Mead
6🎙 ️ Saber Rattle Episode 242
“Building Bots & Inspiring Kids: Droid Maker Steve Mead”
In this episode, we’re joined by Steve Mead, affectionately known in the community as LEGO Steve and the creative mind behind Artoosc (R2‑SC) and ChopperBC, life‑size droid replicas built entirely from wood, 3D‑printed parts, and sensors. Steve began by volunteering in his local library system teaching LEGO robotics to kids—but quickly leveled up, creating fully functional, voice‑enabled droids that now star at community events, Star Wars Days, and Comic‑Cons across the Bay Area. His goal? To spark imagination and show kids that they can build their own bots from scratch—and maybe even change the world one droid at a time.
Join us to explore Steve’s engineering process, his passion for mentorship through robotics, and how volunteering in a library led to building real droids that delight fans of all ages.
