In this video, I show how to setup a VEX IQ robot to follow a line. This is a useful resource to provide for students that are struggling with coding that will have their robot follow a line or to use their color sensors for various purposes.
Material Type: Media Object
This is a computer science lesson plan created by educators in the South Sanpete School District. This lesson plan utilizes BeeBot robots. Students will explore the concepts of sequencing and making a mental plan before coding. Students will engage in a math game to solidify their skill of sequencing and creating an algorithm. The lesson is designed for third grade and includes modifications for grades K-5.
Material Type: Lesson Plan
This is a computer science lesson plan created by educators in the South Sanpete School District. Using Sphero robots, students will program their Sphero to drive as close to an object as possible without touching it and change color when it stops. They will then measure the distance from the object to their Sphero. The lesson is designed for second grade and includes modifications for grades 1-5.
Material Type: Lesson Plan
This is a computer science lesson plan that utilizes Sphero robots. I was created by educators in the South Sanpete School District. Students will be able to program their sphero to travel through a maze. The lesson is designed for fourth grade and includes modifications for grades 1-5.
Material Type: Lesson Plan
This is a computer science lesson plan that utilizes Sphero robots. I was created by educators in the South Sanpete School District. Students will modify a current program so that a Sphero lands on a specified quadrilateral picture identified by a teacher or classmate. Students will identify the name of the quadrilateral with its attributes. The lesson is designed for third grade and includes modifications for grades 1-5.

Scientists who are working to discover new medicines often use robots to prepare samples of cells, allowing them to test chemicals to identify those that might be used to treat diseases. Students will meet a scientist who works to identify new medicines. She created free software that ''looks'' at images of cells and determines which images show cells that have responded to the potential medicines. Students will learn about how this technology is currently enabling research to identify new antibiotics to treat tuberculosis. Students will complete hands-on activities that demonstrate how new medicines can be discovered using robots and computer software, starring the student as ''the computer.'' In the process, the students learn about experimental design, including positive and negative controls.
Material Type: Lecture
In the first unit, students will be introduced to computer science first through a story about a little girl who goes on an adventure and encounters many computer science concepts along the way, and then by playing a game to navigate a robotic dog. All of the activities in this unit are unplugged, and many involve active movement or arts and crafts.
Material Type: Unit of Study
Learn how to inspire and engage the rising generation and reduce obstacles to learning in this 20-minute, STEM-based Over-the-Shoulder session provided by the SUU STEM Center for Teaching and Learning. Join us while we share STEM opportunities for educators and families through school STEAM nights, community STEM activities, professional development, free online homework help (available statewide), and our library resource system, which includes STEM tools and equipment, consumables, and even fully-stocked lesson kits. Whether you are looking to start your own learner-driven program, add opportunities to an existing program, or simply add resources to your own classroom, you will find viable options to implement and resources you can start using today. Look through our K-12 SEEd standard classroom kits including earthquake structures, magnets, biomimicry and more. Each kit will have a take-home material lists and QR codes to access our online lessons.
