Calling all aspiring scientists, engineers, and designers! Join us in real-world investigations and solutions to our planet's health with a focus on renewable energy. Learn about solar, wind and hydro power and the role machines play in storing and measuring it. Practice using tools like levers, cams, gears and pulleys to build multiple models. Use your model to simulate real-life machines such as sweeping machines, windmills, and power cars to aid in your exploration. Our planet's fate is in your hands in this green-thinking robotics class. Co-sponsored with Learning Through Robotics.
Learning Outcomes:
- Introduction to simple machines
- Complex building exercises using solar panels and wind energy
- Simulating real-life machines such as sweeping machines, windmills, and power cars
