pk12_didgeridata

This module will guide students through a brief history and construction of a didgeridoo, the world’s oldest wind instrument, and a paixiao, a chinese pan flute. Students will work with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and PVC-cutting tools to design and create a playable musical instrument. Using climate data trends from NASA Climate research source, students will compose a custom song related to climate data such as atmospheric CO2 concentration or global temperature anomalies. As an example of this, student may wish to use the Y axis of their example data as an analog of pitch, increasing the frequency of the didgeridoo or paixiao output over time. They may wish instead to vary the tempo of their composition, increasing the speed of their play over time. In this way, the sonification of climate data will be accomplished with a student musical chorus. The module will conclude with a group jam session with participants invited to provide percussion for the wind section.

pk12_energeo_simulation_game

pk12_engineering_with_water

Students worked with water to understand how it can both affect engineering projects as a component of nature and be used as a component of a design project, learning about Natural Water Flow and making simple fountains with internally reflected light.

pk12_ethanol_biochemical_factory

Using a modular system for biochemical reactions called Ampli, students used discrete plug-andplay elements to experience the design and biochemical programming of reactions that encourage tuning, tweaking, and real-time analysis via on board sensors.

pk12_food_as_fuel

We all regularly choose and consume food, making food a part of our everyday life. In this module, students used science as a “tool to wonder with” in order to ask and answer some questions about energy and food.

pk12_fun_with_satellites

What are maps? Why do they matter? What sorts of information can they convey? What types of maps can we generate from satellite data? This module explores how to understand the earth using open-source satellite data. Students will understand how maps can be analyzed to monitor crop health, measure deforestation and reforestation, or estimate amounts of carbon stockpiled in vegetation. Through projects, students will work with open-source satellite data (LandSat; Sentinel) to tell a geography-based story in images and devise a method of quantitative analysis to provide additional context.

pk12_gogo_boards

n this session, participants will be introduced to the GoGo Board and logo programming language. They will learn to setup the board, use sensors and actuators, and write simple procedures using loops and logic commands. They will also learn to set up experiments collecting and retrieving data of sensors. The GoGo board is a low-cost open-source hardware device for educational robotics, scientific experiments, and environmental sensing. People can use the board to construct robots, measure and log environmental data, conduct scientific investigations, create game controllers, build interactive art installations, and much more.

pk12_internet_of_things

The goal of this module was to introduce young learners to the potential of App Inventor at MIT, a blocks-based programming language, as a means of fostering their digital empowerment while growing their understanding of plant health and different forms of energy.

pk12_ir_controlled_circuit

This module focused on the basic fundamental concepts of electrical engineering, as well power and energy transfer. These concepts were reinforced by having students build a small circuit that drives a motor to spin a propeller, controlled via an infrared light remote.

pk12_ocean_acidification

Students explored Hong Kong’s Aquatic Microbiome in a hands-on, experimental, and creative manner using foundational biology techniques.

pk12_scratch_and_makey_makey

This module aimed to build students’ interest and confidence by encouraging them to create and code their own projects using the Scratch environment. They went through a series of experiences to gain comfort with exploring, problem-solving, and expressing their ideas creatively with coding.

pk12_water_rockets

The Rockets module is a hands-on activity where students build and test a rockets made out of soda bottles. By exploring the process of iterative design, students will get multiple chances to design and redesign their rocket to accomplish various exciting challenges. Challenges are designed to explore concepts such as Newton’s 3rd law, air resistance, and the trade-off between velocity and acceleration. By the end of the activity, the students involved will understand the importance of the iterative process of design, the importance of ‘fail fast’, and the cool and fun outcomes you get when you keep improving on a design.

pk12_waterkinesis

Students programmed and calibrated an EEG-driven system (headsets) for causing giant plastic balls (with Lego WeDo motors inside) to move and ripple pools of water in response to changes in human emotional states.
