Learning Goals
The goal of this playlist is to break down the complex engineering problem of a trash collecting boat into simpler subcomponents. The playlist starts out with the simple task of pushing trash around and builds up to creating an autonomous boat.
This playlist…
- Was developed for the STEM.T4L STEMaSESH broadcast on August 19th, 2020
- Supports learners of all ages (with WeDo2, EV3, and SPIKE Prime versions)
- Starts with pushing “trash”, then picking it up, then sorting, and eventually - – - - developing water-based solutions for cleaning up trash in the ocean
- Coding can be introductory to complex
- Could be combined with (1) science of oceans, (2) history of boat building, (3) data logging and sensing
- All open-ended design questions, with possible extensions featured on each placemat instruction
