A fun and challenging day on the mini-golf course with the VEX robots. Thanks to #delmargolfcenter for free use of the course. @jrgolfcoachmatt @VEXRobotics

@whisperinedtech @birdbraintech It was 100% the students. I gave them kits, cardboard and the freedom to build what they wanted.

Students get feedback on Pactful project proposals and prototypes. Next steps- students will refine their prototypes and prepare a pitch to present ideas. @PactfulApp @USD_JI #GlobalGoals

A break in the rain allowed us to test out our giant marble run. Students created their own panels that fit together in flexible arrangements.

Taking a break from coding and electronics to work with natural materials in our Indigenous Engineers unit.

Excited to guide STEM students through the design process with projects focused on the #globalgoals.

@KaleidoscopeSci I often modify ideas for units from @TeachNgineering and for single day activities I use PBS Design Squad

@RoukPhysics Students had to push the competition out of a 18x18 inch box.

Hydraulic Olympics - heated competition in the wrestling event!

@GiftedTawk @microbit_edu with @birdbraintech Hummingbird Kit. Add some hot glue and cardboard and you have endless possibilities

William B. with the basic schematics that he and a partner created for the conveyor belt and car.

[olsonscience @olsonscience]

Motorized conveyor belt with adjustable speed. Students control a “car” that has an ultrasonic sensor to signal when an obstacle has been detected. The design also includes lights and a servo controlled speedometer. @birdbraintech @microbit_edu

@jillsciteach @birdbraintech Exact same thing in my class- and we’re on our 6th week with these kits!!

[olsonscience @olsonscience]

@BethKleinman @RasmusCarlsson8 @birdbraintech @microbit_edu I intentionally keep instructions vague to give students the freedom to design. The only requirements were to use at least two sensors or inputs and two or three “outputs”- motors, lights or sound. This pair of students came up with this design.

[olsonscience @olsonscience]

@WhyMaker @birdbraintech @microbit_edu I can’t take the credit… I told students to create something using at least two inputs/sensors and at least two “outputs” and then let them run with it. This was all the work of a pair of 7th graders over the course of three weeks.

@mschoenberger @MH_AllenSchool @birdbraintech @microbit_edu Those kits are the best thing I’ve purchased for my STEM classes in years.

[olsonscience @olsonscience]

@jillsciteach @birdbraintech My class has done amazing projects with those kits!
