Greetings Scituate High School

Below is examples of our program

9th Grade Capstone Project
Line Following Robot Project - Design of a ultra fast line following robot project for student engineering technology project. Worked in conjunction with Electronics Engineering, Drafting and Precision Machine Technology provided a “canned” project. Robot would follow a black line (electrical tape) on the floor autonomously, via infrared led and infrared photo transistor. The engineering student program an algorithm in the Arduino. Students assemble the electronics and build a custom machined chassis and wheels. Students would “tune” the program to different track conditions.

10th Grade Capstone Project“Blimpy” Blue-tooth Controlled Blimp Project - Design of a ultra light modular control system for student engineering technology project. Worked in conjunction with Electronics Engineering, Drafting and Precision Machine Technology provided a “canned” project. Students assemble electronics and program the project, both in the Arduino IDE and a custom application on the cell phone using MIT APP inventor, scratch programming. Student would also design custom 3-d printed chassis in Solid Works

TV-B-Gone (Exploratory Project) – A universal remote control allows you to turn virtually any TV On or OFF. We prefer OFF. You control when you see TV, rather than what you see. The TV-B-Gone remote is so small that it easily fits in your pocket so that you have it handy whenever you need it, wherever you go: airports, restaurants, laundromats, etc. TV-B-Gone is a type of Universal Remote Control which works by shining pulses of invisible light that tells most any TV to turn OFF or On.

Exploratory Curriculum - http://www.n1ir.com/p/exp2016.html

During our 5 day exploratory students build and take home ten unique projects. In an effort to reduce cost to the district I designed my own projects and documentation at a tenth of the cost of purchasing an off the shelf kit from a electronics supplier, Cost of my kits runs about $1.50 each.
