Mrs. Rowhani's third graders learn about matter and energy by building a Spout bot with Khan Academy. Special thanks to: Santa Rita's volunteer parents, Kami Thordarson, Karen Wilson and of course Laleh Rowhani the class teacher. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we hack apart a bread board to create a 5 volt power distribution strip. The 5 volts comes from the center pin in the motor controller and the negative or ground comes from the ground pin on the motor controller. Created by Karl Wendt.

Vicki Lombardi's 6th grade students at Santa Rita Elementary in Los Altos School district learn how to build a Spider robot. Read more at: http://lasdilearn.blogspot.com/2013/02/third-graders-building-robots-mission.html. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we show you how to connect Bit-zee's Arduino micro-controller to his frame. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we install 8 AA batteries in Bit-zee's frame using zip ties. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we show you how to connect Spider's motors and batteries. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we upgrade Bit-zee' battery wires from 32 gauge to 18 gauge. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video Karl talks to Ben Eater about his improvements to the Spider bot platform. Created by Karl Wendt.

Bit-zee is a project designed to inspire students to explore math and science. It was created from everyday items (a hair dryer, tap light, alarm clock, digital camera, and a universal remote). See the following link for help with the code https://sites.google.com/site/khanacademyprojects/home. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we create and wire Bit-zee's bumper switches. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we wire Bit-zee's camera's shutter and power functions to some transistors on the bread board and then we connect the transistors to the Arduino. Created by Karl Wendt.

This video shows you how to reduce the complexity of your Bit-zee while improving the speed of your Bit-zee digital camera. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we show you how to craft the chassis for the Bit-zee using a $3 piece of Lexan and tap light housing. Created by Karl Wendt.

This video shows how Bit-zee's shell was modified to allow space for the bumper switches. Created by Karl Wendt.

In this video we show you how to connect Spider's motors to his tap light base. Created by Karl Wendt.

Hierbei handelt es sich um die Beschreibung des Workshops "Reaktive Voodoopuppen" im Rahmen der Code Week 2014.
Das Projekt wurde von Marie Beuthel und Anne Wohlauf vom Design Research Lab der Universität der Künste Berlin an der Oberschule "Heinrich von Kleist" in Frankfurt (Oder) durchgeführt.

This is a 9-day hands-on workshop about collaboration, design, and electronics prototyping. No previous experience with computer programming or electronics is required. Beginning students will be taught everything they need to know and advanced students will be challenged to learn new skills. Participants will learn about microcontroller programming using Arduino, collaborative software development using GitHub, solderless electronics prototyping, electronic sensors, rapid prototyping, and small team management.
This course is offered during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), which is a special 4-week term at MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the month.
