Push Pull Painter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.
Magnetic Seesaw
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.
Wandering Wands
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.
