Students will be introduced to different types of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, including those used to operate space-based platforms (such as satellites).
What do cell phones and GPS have in common? They both require satellite communication to work! Check out this video explaining how ground to space based communication works through the use of satellites.
Follow along as Jeff Lang teaches you how to assemble a CubiKit using items available for purchase online. The CubiKit is a hands-on STEM activity kit that provides students with an opportunity to become familiar with CubeSat communications, systems, and movement.
This lesson focuses on the engineering design process, linking it to the research conducted at the Shaqfeh lab at Stanford University, which is investigating the properties of fluids, specifically how they apply to de-wetting surfaces, and designing a new fluid for specific purposes.
Students will use TinkerCAD to simulate an Arduino, servo, and Hall Effect sensor, then build a mechanical system with hardware to read a pattern of magnets and store a small set of data.
One of the core ideas of material science is that structure dictates function. The macroscopic properties which arise from a material’s molecular composition aid in determining its potential applications.
We will focus on what it takes to build a city by looking at the importance of transportation. Students will learn about sustainable efforts and methods of mobility and engage in a few activities to better visualize it all.
In this lesson, students will explore how a CubeSat positions itself in space through an interactive activity. Students will participate in an activity which demonstrates the use of transmissions to and from satellite components.
Students will be able to write a grant proposal, using elements of argumentative writing such as creating a solid claim, addressing counterclaims, and using evidence.
