Recommended for ages 13 and up.USA Science and Engineering Festival 2018 - The process of discovery is of huge value to our students! A report by Ken Gracey here. Parallax has run workshops at the USA Science and Engineering Festival (USASEF) for eight years now. This bi-annual event provides the perfect benchmark to compare progress in STEM education and students over a time continuum.This time, most of our Parallax team was busy running the Professional Development for 500 Educators courses in Texas, Georgia and Washington D.C. so I decided to handle the Parallax three-day workshop on my own seems that two years between festivals is just enough time to forget entirely how popular this event has become. The official numbers are somewhere north of 300,000 attendees.

Our workshop cycled through groups of students as they programmed ActivityBot 360s in BlocklyProp (the new offline version, which is coming out soon!). I provided a simple handout so they could build three projects: #PARALAX GROWBOT OFFLINE#

Basic movement with distance and speed commands.

PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor for autonomous roaming and object avoidance.

Infrared remote control with a Sony TV remote control.

I made no effort to manage the age of students participating in the workshop. Kids as young as five years old were building circuits. Because we were so overwhelmed, I couldn’t manage the communication and they simply learned by doing.

Students of all ages sat down and worked through the projects.

They’d figure out the Propeller Activity Board power supply system, how to download programs to EEPROM, and building by schematic.
