Exploring Drones and Hovercrafts with Airblock(Grades 7-9)The Airblock's modular design allows it to be configured as a Drone or a Hovercraft. Students snap it together with magnets in seconds! It is encased in a rugged styrofoam material which will withstand bumps against walls and ceilings, and safely fall to the floor. This makes it easy to use either indoors in a gym or hallway, or outside. Lessons and experiments in physical science: aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, math, coding, and much more make the AirBlock a dynamo of learning potential. Students control it with a Tablet or Smart Phone Apps or with Scratch Code. They use math and physical science concepts as they engage in the STEM lessons. Lots of competitions are included in the lessons for both hovercraft and drone operation, for students to demonstrate skills. This is a great beginners course for drones and hovercrafts. |

Exploring Robotics with Electronics for Boe-Bot(Grades 8-10)Students program the Boe-Bot robot to follow lines, navigate a room or a maze, roam toward light, flash lights, follow a person or vehicle, follow other robots, and much more. Use Boe-Bot robots in classrooms or after school clubs and makerspaces to teach robotics, physical science, coding, and STEM concepts. Exploring Robotics self-paced robotics curriculum with videos makes a great Introduction to Digital Electronics, Engineering, Mechatronics, and other CTE programs for Grades 8-10. Teach introductory electronics with a solderless breadboard and Basic programming (coding) with resistors, capacitors, LEDs, circuit diagrams, and more. This rugged robot is built from a kit but also dissassembles easily and can be used in multiple classes year after year. Inexpensive replacement kits ($10) are available for the small electronic parts and fasteners. |

Exploring Robotics with Boe Shield: Arduino with C Programming(Grades 10-12) Engage students in learning Electronics and C++ coding with a fun robot. Students build this robot with an Arduino brain, program it, and create circuits on the solderless breadboard to control it. Students program the robot to follow lines, navigate a room or a maze, roam toward light, flash lights, follow a person or vehicle, follow other robots, and much more. The Exploring Robotics Introduction to Electronics with BOE Shield-Bot curriculum provides an excellent opportunity to learn and apply a variety of STEM skills which include engineering, electronics, math, physics, C programming, and computer technology. It is also great as a hands-on lab to accompany an introductory robotics, digital electronics, or C programming course. |
