There's something satisfying about finding the centre of a circle for my @Makedo projects!

I'm so excited to share this design challenge with you! I wanted to bring Physical AI into the @Makedo classroom, so I built on from a fantastic @microbit_edu lesson.
Let me know if you try it!

This might be my favorite @Makedo activity yet! Challenge students to incorporate rotational movement with the Roto-Ring! (@dailystem I finally found a fun way to incorporate prefix/suffix learning with cardboard and Makedo!)

We celebrated #PiDay (3.14) by making an electronic trundle wheel! To get a circumference of 1m, divide it by pi to get the required diameter (31.8cm roughly). We used a @Makedo Roto-Ring to make the wheel rotate and added conductive materials connected to a @makeymakey. #STEM

Two days… I went from a pile of cardboard to this. I haven’t had this much fun in a while. Shoutout to @Makedo and #chompsaw for helping me bring my vision yo life. The @SVViperPride cast brought the house down once again!!! #engineer @DVUSD

Tip #3 in last week’s timely @Makedo newsletter was about bending curves in cardboard! It’s a “small” tip that builds an important foundational skill for this challenge. Students are building the perimeter of the heart first and discovering that creating curves takes more effort.
