Do you want your class to be part of Canada’s Space program?
With the Lunar Rover Research Challenge, students could control a Canadensys rover in a mock-lunar environment by winning this low-prep, high-impact competition. Canadensys recently received a contract from the Canadian Space Agency to send a rover to the moon as early as 2026.
You can do the project in 3-4 hours for a classroom experience or 6+ hours to compete.

"Brush Ninja is a free tool for creating animated GIFs. Unlike some similar tools, Brush Ninja works equally well in the web browser on a Chromebook, Windows or Mac laptop, iPads, Android tablets, and iOS and Android phones.
To make an animated GIF on Brush Ninja simply go to the website and start drawing on the blank scene editor. You can draw as many scenes as you like in Brush Ninja. When you have drawn all of the scenes for your animation press the play button to preview your animation. If you are happy with your animation, you can download it by clicking the export option. If you don't like a part of your animation, you can go back and edit any of the scenes that you need to adjust. Watch my video that is embedded below to see the whole process in action." (Richard Byrne)
The site includes a link to the application as well as a video to explain how to use it.
Analog meters are all around us!. They are used to visually represent …
Analog meters are all around us!. They are used to visually represent measurements and data. One of the most common analog meters is the fuel needle in a car. This converts a reading of the fuel level in the tank to an empty to full reading on the meter.
In this build, we will use one servo to build an electronically controlled meter. We will first simply use the knob on the control the board to move the needle converting the knob position to movement of the needle. Then, a sound sensor will be connected to convert sound level (ie music) to a meter reading. This will make it what is commonly known as a “VU-meter”
SKILLS + GOALS Carpentry - Use of basic tools and hardware Construction - Following visual assembly instructions Code - Understand math/code behind converting input readings to output readings (meter) & more!

This build works out to be useful in two ways; flinging stuff and drumming on stuff. The overall concept is to increase the inertia of the moving servo by quickly snapping the cable tie to flick the arm. The mechanics of this build is modeled after a foot pedal used in a drum kit.
The flinging aspect is just fun. Fling coins, buttons and ping-pong balls. When using the animation recording feature of the Animate Shield, beats can be recorded an looped including adjusting the speed.
SKILLS + GOALS Construction -Build the project following assembly instructions Music -Animate a beat Carpentry -Basic carpentry principals and hardware Coding -Learn about using delays in code to control movement timing & More!

Build a mechanical flower that opens up when there is light. This flower uses a few interesting mechanical movements including a push-pull cable to convert rotational movement into a linear movement for a flexible stem. Then the movement is converted back to rotational pivot points to open and close the pedals. The use of the binder clips also means that you are free to create your own flower petals.
