Overview
Day 1
9:00AM/1:30PM: Introductions
- Dom, Tom, and John
- Mentors
- Mentors are your best asset:
- WSU Students
- Will be circulating
- They are here to help you
- Mentors are your best asset:
Demo: Goofy's Dream
The Plan
- One humongoloid Rube Goldberg machine
- Each group of 3-4 makes a part of the machine
- All the machines will connect
Intention for the week
- This better be fun!
- There's a presentation at the end: everybody should see our "liquid awesome."
- Practice hands-on engineering and problem solving
Schedule for the Week
- Today: Get cozy and snuggle up with the materials at hand
- Tomorrow, start digging in!
Rules of the Game
- Keep it fun!
- Love everything: the materials, the tools, your team, and us :-)
- If discouraged, it’s OK. Confusion is part of the process. Hang ten, dude.
- Collaborate
9:15AM/1:45PM Intro to the Materials: Overview
New Improved: now with iteration!
The Iterative Process (repeat 4 times)
- We demo
- What You Need To Know
- Some challenges
- You demo
Demo Format
30 seconds:
- Your name
- Name of Team
- Name of each member of your group
- The challenge your team took on
- Demo solution with explanation
- What you would do differently
A different member of the team should explain the demo for each demo session
Materials at hand
- Mechanical
- Electrical I
- Electrical II
- Arduino
9:30AM/2:00PM: Mechanical Stuff
- Demo
- Challenges: Each group does one of these or something else
- make something move using the wheels
- use a rubber band to controllably power something (nothing moving freely in the air)
- use the gears to make something move faster or slower.
- balance something using a dowel
- make a channel for a ball using the foam
- ???
- Form in teams
- Get materials (only related to mechanics. No electrical)
- Challenge Session
- Demos
10:15AM/2:45PM: Electrical stuff
- Demo
- Overview of electricity
- resistors
- LED
- motor
- switch
- Challenges
- light an LED (but...Don’t blow it!)
- control the motor with a switch
- make the motor lift something heavy
- make the motor spin a shaft
- spin a CD with the motor
- ???
- Get materials (only related to mechanics and electrical. No electronics)
- Challenge Session
- Demos
11:00AM/3:30PM More complicated electrics: The Breadboard
- Demo
- Overview of the breadboard
- Challenges:
- light LED 3 different ways using the Breadboard
- using a magnet, magnet sensor switch and breadboard, make something that turns on both the motor and an LED when you move the magnet to a switch.
- ???
11:45AM/4:15PM Microcontrollers (and the Arduino)
- Demo
- 50 Billion Mile High Overview of Arduino
- One member of each team gets a closer look at the Arduino while the others log into computers etc.
- The selected member goes back and gets the rest of their team "up to speed" on the arduino
- Challenges:
- get LED to blink.
- Change the speed of the blink
- get LED to fade
- control fade with potentiometer
- control blink speed with variable resistor (potentiometer)
- ???
12:30PM/5:00PM: Sayonara
- Reflection with Mentors
