Another great example of a quick sketch and (paper) prototype from one of our Cardboard Carnival Teams in #hawksmakerspace. Super simple prototype build. Doesn't have to be fancy, just show what it will look like. Love it!

This week third grade students have been using @Ozobot to explore our solar system. Students have worked together to show the order of the planets in our solar system and how they orbit around the sun. #Clear4Takeoff #ozobot #STEM #solarsystem

The 4s are learning about pulleys so we worked on prototyping elevator shafts that use a double pulley system. Very rough build to understand the concept. Will bump it up with motors and cleaner builds in round 2.

Had some extra time with the 2s so we made 3D name STEM art using paper tabs in #hawksmakerspace. They turned out great.

Motorized conveyor belt with adjustable speed. Students control a “car” that has an ultrasonic sensor to signal when an obstacle has been detected. The design also includes lights and a servo controlled speedometer. @birdbraintech @microbit_edu

Working on prototypes for moon phases. This one is fairly simple and uses minimal supplies. I think it's a keeper. #hawksmakerspace

How do you learn your angles? We find using a cute little blue robot helps with the fun factor.
