Hey Steemers!
Thought I would share some cool pictures I've been collecting over the last few weeks. Teaching is tough, but there are rewards. Haha. Here are a few...
... Is building an underwater robot given to us by "Seaperch"
SeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. Students build the ROV from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts, following a curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme. The SeaPerch Program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science, and mathematics (STEM) while building an underwater ROV as part of a science and engineering technology curriculum. Throughout the project, students will learn engineering concepts, problem solving, teamwork, and technical applications.
They help out thousands of teachers a year with a simple online application donating really cool items like multimeters, drills, etc., as well as the materials to build 4-5 underwater robots. A very generous donation I recommend to any teacher!
... I teach AP Physics and have been doing Investment Club and Homework Help with a couple of my class clowns. They make the day a little better. One of them bought a 1" Neodynium Cube and it is a crazy magnet. Used to have one myself until a student took it. Here is what we did:
