We’re combining @Sphero littleBits, RVR+, and Blueprint kits to conclude our animatronic unit with a final build.
🐮 We think the cow would make a great addition to a barnyard theme park ride!
A @SVVSFoundation Teacher Innovation Grant is making an impact in our classroom. On duty today is Scout, a robotic dog helping us explore the application of robotic animals in the workforce. Thank you SVVSEF!
#StVrainStorm
Students used light and proximity sensors with littleBits to build automatic headlights, pre-collision warning systems, and more! Exploring real-world tech through hands-on innovation!
#StVrainStorm
Exploring torque with mechanical arms made from littleBits! We discovered that the farther the cup is from the servo hub, the faster it swings—but also the harder it is to move.
#StVrainStorm
Students engineered their own animatronics using littleBits!
They explored how different inputs and servos work together to create movement and interaction.
#StVrainStorm
Day 1 using the littleBits Invention Cycle to Create, Play, Remix, and Share. We met the components of the littleBits kit today in a series of challenges.
Thank you @OtterCares for funding our Innovation Station Grant! We need to have you back out for a visit.
#StVrainStorm
We mapped out dream vacations to visit one location with academic purpose and a second location of our choice. Voice overs accompany the footage of our Ozobot Evos simulating the trip!
#StVrainStorm
We’re using the @Sphero Blueprint kits to design and test zip line carriers. Everyone is finding their own innovative way to utilize the components of their kits to transport rubber ducks down the zip line!
#StVrainStorm
Testing our sailboats on the water gave us the feedback needed to improve our prototypes or even go back to the ideate stage to build a completely different design.
#StVrainStorm
6th grade launched into Quarter 4 with sailboats! We will test the buoyancy of their hulls and quality of sails as they take to the water tomorrow. 🌬️⛵️
#StVrainStorm
How might we upcycle plastic rings from this robotics season? Here are three student ideas!

#StVrainStorm
Claw Machine Build Day 2!
Teams are engineering pulley systems and linear motion setups to control their claws. Which designs will successfully lift, lower, and grab prizes from their claw machine?
