5. Computational Thinker

This lesson was for 2nd/3rd graders in an after-school class. Students were not familiar with 3D printing or Tinkercad. We spent 3 days to complete. Day 1 was learning about 3D printing, opening

In this lesson, students build a circuit and program the Arduino to simulate different logic gates.

This lesson has students create a unique graphical visual of the components of blood within a vial. These components of blood are then researched and used as a control for accomplishing two

This STEM Argumentative Research Project engages students in exploring the scientific, ethical, and societal implications of themes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Students will work in groups to

Students will apply principles of design, engineering, and mathematics to create a physical or digital labyrinth inspired by the myth of Theseus. This project integrates STEM concepts with literature

Students will use Tinkercad's website to create a 3D box and lid. I provide step-by-step Google Slides on how students create this project, share videos of the directions, and additional resources for

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will be introduced to the fundamental concept of microprocessors, often referred to as the "brains" of electronic devices. Using Micro:bits, a versatile

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will explore the intersection of art and technology by designing and constructing a marker holder for a robot, allowing it to create artwork. Using the
