Full Year High-School Robotics Curriculum - Fagan 22-23
This is a Canvas course I have designed to teach high school students Robotics from no knowledge to competing with student-built and programmed bots in roughly a semester's time, with an additional semester for new robots and new competitions/challenges to refine their skills. A lot of the content draws on VEX and Carnegie Mellon's free educational robotics content and videos. The course was developed using the VEX EDR ("Legacy"/Cortex) system but should translate to the newer V5 system as far a

MYP Design Cycle Year 2 & 3 Fully Explained (Lesson with activities)
A great lesson to introduce your students to the MYP design cycle. It has many activities for students to practice each section. When working on their design projects it becomes a great reference if they get stuck. It includes a few extras as well including citations review, importance of command terms, and a few links to you tube videos. This took me 20 plus hours to create. Why reinvent the wheel, grab this and your first 5 lessons of design class are all set to go.

STEM Catapult Project
Let's face it, students love to launch things across the classroom. Why not put this energy into a project! Students will love to see something they built themselves launch small objects, such as a pencil top eraser, across the room! This is a smaller scale catapult project, but you can upscale it using woodwork if you would like. The challenges with this project include launching a pencil top eraser 1 meter horizontally and making the catapult accurate enough to have the pencil top eraser land

If you need a challenging project for your students this is the perfect one! The goal is to build a roller coaster out of only paper and tape. The roller coaster must carry a marble safely to the end (yes, it needs a safe ending to the roller coaster!). The ride must last at least 10 seconds as well. Students complete research, sketch designs, and build their roller coaster. They can test it as much as they need, but they only get 3 attempts to complete it for their grade. This project can take

STEM Toothpick Bridge Project
Students love this project! Students build a bridge using 100 toothpicks and hot glue/tape (you can change the amount of toothpicks if desired). Students complete research, sketch design ideas, build their bridge, and modify after testing! This project took my students about a week and a half to complete for a 50 minute class period. This gives students time to test and modify according to their needs of their project. Rubric is included!

If you have competitive students then this is the project for them! Students have to put their heads together to create a boat out of aluminum foil that can hold at least 20 pennies. A little competition is thrown in to see which group can build a boat to hold the most pennies in their class. I give the winning group a prize. After the project part is done there are some reflection questions that students answer (a paragraph per question). This can take anywhere from a few days to a week to comp

STEM Paper Airplane Challenge
My students thought this was the best project since they were able to make paper airplanes and actually throw them without getting into trouble! After students completed research, sketching designs, and practicing making their ideas with normal notebook paper I gave them a piece of computer paper to test with pennies. Their airplane had to carry "cargo" (5 pennies) without using tape/glue. It was amazing to see their ideas for the airplane carrying cargo using just the plane and nothing else! Th
