4 Starter Arduino Projects for Classrooms
I'm often asked by Teacher about what more they can do with Arduino's beyond just flashing LED's. I've put together a few simple projects that could serve as starting points for students wishing to build on their existing knowledge of Arduinos. Watch the video below, and then see Project description / Code / Wiring diagrams below.
Why have a 3D printer in class?
I'm often asked what are the benefits of 3D printers in schools. Too often people look at the 'product' that is being made by the students and incorrectly believe that the educational value is in this final product. They look at the bookmark / bag tag / coin that is painfully created in the 3D printer and wonder how 'useful' that could possibly be.
However, this is not the right way to look at the problem. The real educational value in these projects is more along the lines of the process that students follow.
