AWHS Principles of Technology

Based on your requests, we have time to finish your bridges today.

To allow everyone time to finish we will test the bridges on Monday.

Today we have a new assignment to refine your skills around measurement and adding fasteners to 3d designs.

You have two tasks today:
1. finish your bridge today.

2. start and finish the 3d Printed Linked Shape assignment. 

 

 

Today is all about:

your Arduino Rovers

We will run your robots through some challenges today.

Next up: the Ultrasonic Robot – after you have passed the Rover challenges this is next. 

To get warmed up for 3d printed bridges, let’s build some popsicle stick bridges.

1. review the Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition assignment.  We will build today and test on Thursday!
2. fill out this form to declare if you are flying solo or working with a partner. No trios. 
3. start building. Be sure to put down a large sheet of paper when you are glueing today.

We are back!  I hope that you had a good break.

And the Artemis II crew is back!

 

Period 5:

Let’s get those Arduino Rovers on the move!

We will run your robots through some challenges today.

Next up: the Ultrasonic Robot – after you have passed the Rover challenges this is next. 

Period 4:

Today we will work with the Bambu Labs app that preps your 3d design for printing. 

1. Click here to download a sample STL.
2. Open the Bambu Labs app on your computer. It’s installed on your. computer so search for Bambu
3. We will go through the setup steps together.

Where’s the Artemis II mission in space right now?

What are we doing after break?
3d printed bridge competition: Design a bridge that will be printed and assembled.  Then we will hang weights to see how much weight your bridge can hold.

Today:

If you turned in your chair assembly instructions take look at your grade and consider revising your work for higher grade.

Many instructions were missing:
how many nuts and bolts are needed?
where are they installed?
specifically what tools do you use?
put steps in order with numbering.

1. Assemble your chairs!
2. Finish your chair assembly instructions. 

 

At 3:24 pm PST today, the Artemis II spacecraft will launch on the first NASA crewed lunar mission since 1972.

Marble Tracks – Thanks for the update last class. I will check in with some folks today about their marble tracks.

Arduino Rover – today you and a partner get to build your Rover.

Your 3d printed chair is due today. 

When you have completed the chair, it is time to create Ikea-style assembly instructions for your chair design.  Click here for the full description and resources.

4th period:

The first chairs are printed!  Let’s assemble.

Continue your work on your 3d printed chair assignment

5th period:

Fill out this form to tell me the status of your Marble Track.  Has it been printed and the track works?  Are you waiting for me to print?

What’s next?  The Rover Robot.  We will start to build this robot during Wednesday’s class.  TODAY, choose a partner and start to work on the code in Tinkercad.

 

 

Marble maze – I have more drafts ready for testing.

Today we will work with a new type of servo – a continuous servo. This servo is a small motor that will spin forwards or backwards.

If you put two continuous servos together then you can move a robot forwards, backwards and make the robot turn.

We will review the code and circuit together and then you get to build your very own circuit.

First assignment: Arduino Continuous servo in Tinkercad

Then build your circuit in real lift with an Arduino and components.
