Compound Machines
This activity is designed to explore compound, robotic machine design. Students will build a series of compound machines and then analyze how each one works. This experience will give students the confidence to design and engineer their own compound, robotic machines.
STEM Lab: Basic Robotics & Snapstack or Advanced Projects
Factory Lift Challenge
This activity is designed to challenge students to design and engineer a custom, remote controlled factory lift capable of moving material. Students will work through the design process to develop a working model to be tested and evaluated. Students will be required to reflect on their design and effectively communicate it to others.
