Description
In this lesson students will work in engineering teams in the designing, building, and programming of an automated machine which solves a given problem. To provide students choice and to differentiate instruction, four different automated machine design projects are provided including:
- Elevator Project Machine Design Problem
- Recyclable Sorter Machine Design Problem
- Tic-Tac-Toe Machine Design Problem
- Clock Machine Design Problem
For each project there are student instructions which provide an introduction, problem/criteria/constraints, details for how to document their design in an engineering notebook, and a project rubric. Project instructions reference the use of the LEGO robotics building platform, but the lessons could be modified to work with other platforms like VEX.
