STEM activity - Brain impact simulator

The other part of the video provided an awesome opportunity to hack STEM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOHiXQTcy4I&feature=youtu.be is the new extension to be able to bring in data into excel. Getting into data science, especially designing a new helmet to be able to protect the head from a concussion. It has been interesting over the years having to do concussion tests on students that have had a head clash at lunchtime on the field, also it has been surprising the number of students that have head injuries in school that need time. What a cool way to integrate health and digital technologies using data, as well as getting to understand the issues and why http://www.bluecard.co.nz/ is such an important initiative in sports today.

Integrating technology into this as well as some schools have vacuum formers in which students could investigate the concept and design, and test these. 

Also the idea of developing a textiles solution as well.

Building models to understand and mitigate brain injury

It works with a micro:bit!!!!!

It can also be created with an arduino as well.

What awesome ideas for Year 9 or 10.

developing resources

I think this year is one of cool stuff.
The ideas need to be simple enough to develop different ideas.
Today I found out about edCreate, an extension kit for the edison robot.
https://meetedison.com/edcreate/
It has been a day of trying to find a location in New Zealand that has these.

https://nicegear.nz/product/edcreate as well as http://www.mindkits.co.nz/edcreate.aspx.

I like the idea of the bag concept, I play on using this with one of my students, the idea is getting them working with the concepts of mechatronics.

The second idea is around developing Designing and Developing Digital Outcomes, https://papersignals.withgoogle.com/

What a great way to get students to develop ideas and concepts with voice technology. Consider the google home and amazon dot that are being released.

Third idea, this is currently being written as an assessment resource. Dealing with advanced programming and using the power of python parsing files.
