Students will be divided into pairs and given a $1000 budget (imaginary) to create a project focusing on their area of interest within the school curriculum that will include a culminating audio/visual presentation. They must write an...

In this curriculum unit, educators can find lectures and project materials related to electronics including the LEGO robotics.

This is a tutorial for creating a breadboard with an LED display as an educational outreach effort for the Telescope Array cosmic ray research project near Delta, Utah. When completed, the breadboard could be programmed to use actual...

This lesson introduces students to the major characteristics of robots. The associated activity uses the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT system as an example. Before studying robots in more detail, it is important for students to consider the many...

Students will use Sphero to explore the computer science concepts of variables and conditionals (ifstatements). They will use OrbBasic, which is a text-based programming language for the Sphero. They will write a simple program that...

The University of Michigan's Center for Highly Interactive Computing in Education offers this site as a learning tool to use handheld computers in the classroom.

A fascinating site devoted to art and graphics used on the world wide web. Explore the best in buttons, banners, counters, and more.

Students will use the Sphero robotic ball to draw polygons and learn the relationship between heading angles and the number of sides in a polygon where all sides are equal. They will also learn how to setthe colors of the lights inside...

Students will use Sphero to conduct an experiment. They will identify how long they need Sphero to move at 10% speed to reach and knock over a target object (such as a whiteboard marker). Using this information, they will then calculate...

Students will use Sphero to explore percentages using speed and color. The speed experiments are quantitative and the color experiments are qualitative. They will program the Sphero to move at 100% speed for a particular amount of time,...

SPRK STEM challenges are fun, interactive activities that challenge students to use creativity and team-work to move through simple steps of the design process in order to build Sphero-based creations. In this challenge, there are...

SPRK STEM challenges are fun, interactive activities that challenge learners to use creativity and team-work to move through simple steps of the design process in order to build Sphero-based creations. The Hydro-hypothesis challenge...

Students will use Sphero to show that there is a linear relationship between time, speed, and distance. They will program Sphero to move at a particular speed for a particular amount of time, and then measure how far it has gone.They...
