Hands On STEM/STEAM Below you’ll find highlights of some of the projects I’ve worked on with my students in the past Physical computing with 4th graders 8th graders built a Raspberry Pi powered “Smart Sign” for the hallway 8th graders build a solar powered tablet charging station 7th graders solder components while building a robot 6th graders build a hardware interface using Scratch Students learn about tessellation in math class using shapes they designed and 3-D printed Middle school students making ice cream using liquid nitrogen Students design, 3D print, build and program a sign for outside the classroom. The class periods could be changed using buttons on back Middle school students learn how to code in Python using Minecraft on a Raspberry Pi High school students design, 3D print and build a solar powered backup battery charger High school students install a solar powered laptop charging station they designed and built Students apply the Pythagorean Theorem and their programming skills using robots Computer Science students team up with others in wood shop to make this combination 3D printed/wood NCSU logo Students design and 3D print part of their final projects for science class
