21st Century Learning and Teaching

Launched on IndieGogo a few months ago after 2+ years in development, Crowbits is a STEM education project that leverages both the Arduino and ESP32 boards, in addition to the BBC Micro:bit, to teach logical thinking and programming. Featuring Lego-blocks compatibility and a Scratch-like interface, the project has reached its IndieGogo backing goal and is ready to ship, says Crowbits' maker Elecrow.

Crowbits are little plug-and-play blocks that can snap together thanks to their magnetic Pogo pins, which makes it easy to connect crowbits with one another. Elecrow has already built 40+ different crowbits, including a DC motor, a buzzer, a LED, a gesture sensor, and many more. In addition to input and ouput modules, you also have programmable micro-controllers and IIC/UART modules.

Social Distancing Monitor with Alarm, Arduino NANO and I2C LCD1602 Display In times of the Coronavirus-Crisis (Covid_19), it might be GOOD to respect the 2 meters distance to avoid getting infected!!! But not everybody can estimate distances, nor are ALL persons respecting the 2 meters rule!!! So came the idea to build an…

I'm thrilled to unveil my new 3D printed Levitation device! How crazy is that? It's possible and actually not too difficult to make. I really had a lot of fun with this project and I am so happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned for more fun and random projects!

I put a lot of work into the video. It should explain everything so check it out too and thanks for watching!

How-To transform an LCD1602 SPI Sketch to an LCD1602 I2C Sketch We were already playing around, as seen on my tutorials below, with the Temperature/Humidity sensors DHT11, DHT22 and LCD1602, without I2C possibility. There were a lot of cables to connect, we will try out this time to use a LCD with I2C bus connection as it…

Microsoft offers STEM resources to help educators engage students with project-based lessons that compliment current STEM curriculum. A small incubation team inside of Microsoft focuses on developing next generation hardware, software, and services for K-12 education. Our goal is to support teachers in building inquiry and project-based activities that embed computational and design thinking into existing middle school curriculum.

We want to democratize STEM for 21st century learners and demonstrate how all schools can provide affordable opportunities to bring science in the classroom.

Automatic Stopwatch: Objective of this project is to count the time taken by a climber to climb a wall. But it must be automatic i.e. climber doesn’t has to push a button to start the counter/timer and also he should not does any effort to stop the timer also.

LoRa and ESP32 are everybody’s darlings, and when a combination in the form of these small boards appeared on our platforms, it seemed they are a perfect combination. Is this true? Let’s test them.
- A 433 MHz Heltec
- An 868-915MHz Heltec
- An 868-915 TTGO
- And as a reference the Hope RFM95 868 MHz

These boards can be used as LoRa nodes and as TTN gateways.
In this video we have a closer look at these features:
- The ESP32
- The LoRa transceiver
- The antennas
- And the power management part

In this video we learn how to make your own a very simple Tesla Coil at home using 3/4" PVC Pipe, 26 awg Magnet Wire, 2N2222A Transister, 29k Resistor and On/Off Switch. You can easily make this Tesla Coil at home.

This device was invented by Nikola Tesla and is a great demonstration experiment. I hope you will make it without any problems after watching this video.

In my channel "science & technology experiments" where you will learn how to make hand made crafts, presents, toys etc. The main thing is that one can make it at home and with one's own hands.
You are interested in handiwork, craft or you just have nothing to do, You have found the channel you really need. Here you can find lots of crafts, hand made items, and the main thing is that they all made of make-shifts and at the lowest cost!
