In this project the student writes a program that open and close a greenhouse automatically based on the temperature inside. |
|
In the vending machine project, the student builds an ice cream vending machine. The student must write a program that uses input from a light sensor to detect when the customer drops a coin into the slot, then waits for a button to be pushed on the machine, and then feeds out a candy bar. The program can even keep track of how many candy bars have been dispensed and set off a siren when it is empty. |

In this project the student builds a wheel chair and a joystick to control it. The wheel chair has seperate motors that operate the left and right wheels, and the joy stick uses two angle sensors to read the position of the joystick handle. The student must write a program that translates information about the angle of the joystick into information about how much power should be sent to each wheel. |
|
This is a challenging project in which the student builds a "scanner." The student must write a proram that moves a light sensor back and forth across a piece of paper while using wheels to feed it through, and then translate the data collected into a picture on the screen. |

This project is simply a machine that sends lego bricks one by one down a conveyor belt. |
|
This is a very fun project where the student builts a robotic arm and must program it to grab lego bricks, swivel around and drop them into bins. A light sensor can be added so that the arm can be programmed to sort the bricks by color, or this project can be combined with the Conveyor Belt project to have the Robotic Arm pick blocks off of the conveyor belt. |
