The Catapult Lab is a great entry point to the MINDS-i system. The provided exercises focus on the creative build process, data collection and the PDSA cycle (Plan, Do, Study, Act) used in the industry for decades, for design engineering, product troubleshooting & problem-solving.
expanding your creativity with the MINDS-i Robotics platform. The MINDS-i quick-lock system makes it easy to design, build, test and redesign.
Each lab is designed for 2-3 students and includes 10 curriculum hours of building and data collection.
Unit 1: Design Engineering
1.1 Model for Inquiry
1.2 The Importance of Data 1.3 Parts & Purposes
1.4 Simple Machines
This student LAB was developed to supplement the MINDS-I UAV Drones Curriculum as an introduction to the world of UAV Drones and Robotics. It is designed as an interactive approach to applied science, technology, engineering, and math. In this course, students will become familiar with the basics of UAV Drone robotics and programming through teamwork.
Introduce students to robotics with easy to assemble and modify rovers that feature real-world applications. Working collaboratively, students build and program advanced robots.
Minds-i developed this lab to accompany the MINDS-i UAV + UGV Drones Curriculum as an introduction to Drones and Robotics as an interactive approach to STEM.
By 2018, the U.S. will have more than 1.2 million unfilled jobs in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) because there will not be enough qualified workers to fill them. STEM is where jobs are today and where the job growth will be in the future.
Through activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum, our programs give students a chance to apply what they know, identify problems, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning. When students understand how their education is relevant to their lives and future careers, they get excited, and are more successful.
