Build your own take-home musical pencil. Grade 2 – 4; 10am – 12pm
A pencil with a built in speaker that changes pitch based on
resistance!!? Students will learn, in an interesting way, how you can
‘map’ different electrical devices to resistance in a circuit. They will
surely enjoy building this novel ohm meter themselves and using it for
tests. Using this tool they will investigate the difference between
conductors and insulators, why some things can carry electricity, such
as graphite, and some things are resistant to it, and how adding
elements in a circuit changes its resistance. Among other things, the
pencil allows students to create a hand drawn working piano, be challenged to play songs, and
use their bodies as a real electric circuit. The best part is they get to keep it.
Build your own take-home walking robot. Grade 5 – 8; 1pm – 3pm;
In this adorably awesome take home, students will build their very
own two-legged walking robot. After the build we will use the robot
to test how changing the center of gravity affects its ability to move
and ascend up a ramp. This, in turn will lead to all kinds of
interesting discussion centered on the importance of center of
gravity and locomotion. The best part is they get to keep it!
Build your own take-home robot arm. Grade 9 – 12; 4pm – 6pm;
Learn to be a creator of your own products. In this engaging and exciting
robotic workshop, students will build their own controlled robot arm.
Students will learn about electronics, control, electronic components and
the integration of mechanical and electrical parts to assemble a device
that they control. The best part is they get to keep it!
