Robots: Programming and Building the Future
The age of Personal Robotics is rapidly approaching, which includes new technology such as the Nest Thermostats, Roomba Vacuum or Google’s Self-Driving Car. Today’s students should develop a conceptual understanding of how to use and program the myriad of robots that will soon be intimately involved in their lives. The EZ-Robot is an engaging educational […]
Micro Dome: A Portal to Viewing the Universe
Imagine bringing the Hayden Planetarium into a classroom…. Well, this presentation does just that! This technology-based presentation integrates scientific content with science and math practices, cross-cutting concepts and engineering principles so students can see the interrelated nature of the 4 STEM subjects while investigating the solar system.
Biomedical Engineering at the Liberty Science Center
From a theatre at LSC, students gaze through a video conference “window” into the operating room and converse with doctors from the first incision to the last suture. During this time, LSC facilitators move among students in the theatre-shaping conversation, structuring questions and passing around models of human organs under discussion.
Putting an ‘A’ into the STEM of Biomedical Engineering
The purchase of 15 Scribbler 3D pens exposes students in the engineering design process and the integral part prototyping plays in this process. These pens introduce students to the concepts of tissue engineering and synthetic organs. They also allow students to design their own solutions to biomedical engineering problems.
FLIR One and LabQuest Stream
Using FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) ONE cameras along with a free Thermal Analysis App, students can observe temperature changes on the skin, illustrate convection, track heating due to friction, compare heat convection, analyze the transparency of material and much more. In addition, 6 Vernier LabQuest Streams will be purchased to interface with existing probes, sensors […]
