2018-2019 Cycle 1 - 4th Grade
Building a Prototype for Prosthetic Hand
Enabling the Future has generously donated two prosthetic assembly kits. The 4th graders assemble a Prosthetic hand for enabling th e future an din Tinkercad design an object that can be picked up by the hand.

Cycle 2 - 6th grade
In our 21st Century Classrooms, students are collaborating with each other, integrating technology, and applying critical thinking skills to solve problems. Throughout the Science CREATE cycle, 6th graders will extend their 21st Century skills and explore the world of computer science and 3D printing!
Students will be introduced to basic robotics and programming with a hands-on approach using the Ozobot. This small smart robot is programmable through drawn lines and color codes. In our class, we collaborate to design mazes and playgrounds with commands for the robot to follow through color code language.
Sixth graders will then combine their scientific skills with artistic design, mathematics, and engineering principles as they design and print 3D models! They will demonstrate their knowledge of scientific concepts, such as Forces & Motion, as they choose a prototype to design in order to test out potential and kinetic energy. Students will utilize the Tinkercad 3D modeling platform to design their object and print through our Makerbot 3D printers. The class will carry out a series of tests with the various printed objects to identify when each object is demonstrating potential energy and kinetic energy.
