Electrical Engineering with Makey-Makey, Ages 8-10
0 Available seats
Students will obtain an introduction in electrical engineering by tinkering with Makey Makey, a circuit board kit that can be used to connect objects with a computer, transforming those objects into computer keys or mouse clicks. Students can invent new devices, instruments and controllers with objects that conduct electricity. For instance, bananas turn into piano [...]
Aerospace engineers design things that fly both inside and outside of our atmosphere, while aeronautical (flight) engineers design things that only fly inside of our atmosphere. Students dive into aeronautical engineering by designing models of flying technologies that help collect aerial photographs. Students also learn how to engineer rovers that can be used to explore [...]
Do you ever wonder how gadgets work? Students will be engineering and programming their own electronic circuits, motors, sensors and controllers to do a range of tasks using the Arduino™ electronics platform. They will use the engineering design process (i.e. create, test, improve) to break down a problem, design a solution and build it! When [...]
