In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this activity, learners explore electronic communication, the Morse Code system, and advances all the way through text messaging. Learners build a simple circuit, send messages to one another.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

In this activity, learners explore computer programming and the impact of computers on society. Learners build and test a program to turn a light on and off using an Arduino board.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer).

In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

This is a web page that helps informal educators brainstorm on how to use a Pico Cricket (tiny computer) in an informal activity.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!
