You can learn more about our turnkey robotics curriculum for high schools, here. When I think of robotics, I think of three overarching categories: electronics, programming, and mechanics. You could also talk about LED forward voltage, desired current draw, and prototyping using a breadboard.
Deals , Individual Courses. Furthermore, you could connect the LED to a microcontroller such as Arduino , and have students program the LED to perform a variety of patterns. The goal is to pick a category and decompose it into mini, relatable concepts.
Then, you can utilize the materials and resources you already have to figure out how to teach the lesson. Think to all the resources — kits, Legos, computers, etc. Relate these items to the category and topics you outlined in Steps 1 and 2. How can you use these materials to build the LED circuit? If you need to buy supplies, what supplies do you need, and do you have the budget to purchase these items? Also, consider creating digital models using online simulators and freeware.
Regardless of the resources, you have available, with a little creativity, you can create an interactive STEM lesson your students will enjoy! Think back to your last STEM class.
Could you deploy some of these techniques to make it more organized? Have you ever felt like complex topics could go on forever?
