//control.Node Sense and Control Kit
Students use elements of the engineering design process to turn on lights, run a cooling fan, open doors, launch rubber bands, and much more.
Grade Level: High School • Middle School
Subject: STEM
Activities
01) Nightlight: Loops and Conditions
Students will use the Engineering Design Process, Blockly coding, and materials from the //control.Node and Control Kit to create a model of a working automatic nightlight.
02) Design a Thermostat: Compound Conditionals
Students will use the Engineering Design Process, Blockly coding, and materials from the //control.Node Sense and Control Kit to design a thermostat.
03) Rubber Band Launcher: Programming Angles with a Servo Motor
Students will engineer a rubber band launcher using a //code.Node, //control.Node, Blockly, and additional accessories from the //control.Node Sense and Control Kit.
04) Meter Challenge: Programming with Variables
Using a //code.Node, //control.Node, Blockly, and materials from the //control.Node Sense and Control Kit, students will create a meter game challenge.
05) Automatic Door: Programming with Textual and Physical Outputs
Students will use a //code.Node, //control.Node, Blockly, and accessories from the //control.Node Sense and Control Kit to create a model of "Smart" technology that opens and closes a door along with alerting the user if that door is open or closed.
06) Engineering a Winch: Programming a Stepper Motor
Students will use a //code.Node, //control.Node, Blockly, and additional accessories from the //control.Node Sense and Control Kit to determine the number of revolutions a stepper motor must make to pick up and place down a cup from a determined distance.
