This project is meant to give students an opportunity to work on a computer game in small groups (it can be used in other formats) as well as practice complex conditional flow statements in Python. It is based around a Flappy bird game, where students need to help bird navigate by modifying a single function in a python code. It gives students an opportunity to utilize Cartesian coordinates to make relevant decisions. It is also an excellent project to connect materials learned in math class wit

This is a two lesson introduction for students on how to use OnShape, covering the fundamentals of parametric 3D modeling using OnShape as well as fundamentals of manufacturing using 3D design. Both lessons involve hands on CAD modeling activities. First lesson also contains a guided activity, demonstrating fundamentals of 3D modeling. Second lesson contains 2 activities which ask students to create more advanced models. Second lesson also contains two videos demonstrating how the in-lesson mode

This project meant to be a take home assessment or perhaps an in-class project for students to work on. It incorporates material from the introductory level of computer science (in Python) such as print and input functions as well as how to make function calls. It also provides opportunity for students to debug pre-written code. As bonus students have opportunity to expand their knowledge beyond the material taught and implement file I/O functions. This is a fun project meant to give the student

A project which brings math to life with material which connects something which they heard about and something which they learned in class. This project places students in the middle of the different stock trading strategies between themselves and a Hedge Fund. As part of the project students are required to graph data, analyze linear equations and draw conclusions based on the resulting data. They also learn about concept of short selling. This is an excellent in-class group assignment or a ve

This project provides students with 5 questions, which allow them to explore concepts of increases and decrease in the percentages if a value as well as how to interpret these increases/decreases. The project is based around real world application in the freight railroad industry, to connect material learned in class with real world applications. Solutions are included.

This project is allows students to explore how mathematical concepts of positive and negative integers as well as corresponding mathematical operations are helpful in engineering/scientific calculations in an imaginary Mars Settlement. This is an excellent way to connect simple math concepts to more advanced STEM concepts and to spur students' imagination beyond the realm of regular math classroom. This version contains word document version of the project as well as answers.

This project allows students to explore application of scientific notations in everyday life, in this case data storage. It helps to illustrate how scientific notations are used to quantify how much storage is required to store different forms of electronic data and how to figure out if we have enough storage to store something. It also touches on basics of business calculations. This version has answers as well.
