A cross-curricular STEM class kit for 30 students working in groups of three to design, build, test, and evaluate four different computer-controlled working models incorporating structural, mechanical, and electrical systems.
Students will apply their understanding of computing to programming and monitor and control their products, which include a colored spinner, LED traffic lights, chair-o-plane, and a light that comes on in the dark.
The Crumble controller is robust and easy to connect, uses a simple drag-and-drop programming language, and directly drives motors, lamps, and LEDs. The controller unit is reused for all four projects in order to keep costs to a minimum.
