9/12/2017. The Innovative Exploration of Science and Technology club kicked off the 2017-18 school year yesterday with more than 30 girls in attendance. After a snack and quick overview of the type of projects the club will introduce this year, the girls created SpinBots by wiring a rotor and propeller to a battery pack with alligator clips, then mounting their spinner to a plastic cup with markers affixed to the base. The girls learned how to reflect on their projects by posting short videos to the club's FlipGrid board for robotics, then the whole group had a brief discussion of some of the design variables that impacted how well their SpinBots worked (e.g., placement of rotor, number of markers, balance of cup). A few photos and videos from the SpinBot project are shown below.
