In the Dynamic Design Lab at Stanford, their self-driving race cars collect over 8000 pieces of data every second which comes to almost 1,000,000 pieces of data per lap on the track.
The CHARM lab at Stanford studies haptic devices (devices that give people tactile sensory feedback) and how these devices can be used to enhance learning. The goal of this fellowship is to create a lesson plan that enhances student learning using a particular haptic device.
This unit will give a hands-on example of how kinematics and mechanical analysis applies to the work done by the Failure Analysis/Reliability Engineering team at Oculus. Students will learn about the goals of the Reliability Team and tools they use to accomplish their goal.
The CyberLearning team at SRI researches innovation in cyber learning education (http://circlcenter.org) and how to assess the learning gains students make in their computational thinking.
The goal of this ETP is to engage students in a hands –on engineering experience. Students will create pressurized water model rockets with 2 liter bottles and then launch them into the atmosphere.
Water is a valuable resource that all organisms need to survive. We utilize water in our daily lives in a multitude of ways. Students will use linear equations and systems of equations to calculate and analyze how much water they use in their daily lives.
This ETP is designed to get students ready for inquiry based curriculum. Students will be required to base arguments on evidence provided in tables or graphs, by learning how to read them based on column headings, axis, headings, and best fit lines.
This lesson will give students the opportunity to use the functionalities of Microsoft Excel to help them in their analysis of a real data set, ranging from sports to health to finance.
There are several popular platforms for teaching and learning Statistics at the high school level. Graphing calculators such as TI-83 or Casio FX-9750 and their cousins are essential tools for taking the AP Statistics Exam.
