Electronics & Robotics
What is electricity? Why do wires get hot? How does your phone turn on? What is a battery? All of these questions are the bases of modern electronics. Who were the founding people of electricity and electronics as we know it? Tesla, Edison, Westinghouse all help to forge the modern electrical grid that we know and appreciate today.
We begin by looking at the man who had over 700 patents in physics mostly connected to versions of electricity or the use of electricity.
Tinker, Innovate, Create
We investigate electronics, where do they come from? What's inside our electronics? There is no better way to explore the simplicity and complexity of electronics than to spend time working and tinkering with electronics.

How To Create Your Underwater ROV Group Movie
Here are the requirements: How It's Made ROV Movie Below are the final SeaPerch Movies from the teams. Enjoy your hard work!
You are going to create a 3 minute video of your time with your ROV using Windows Movie Maker. To begin you will need to go to this website to find out the basics of using Windows Movie Maker. Go To the Start Menu and open: "All Programs." Then go to "Media Creation Software." Scroll down to "Movie Maker" and open. Here are the requirements: How It's Made ROV Team Movie
Making Your Movie The process involves 4 basic steps: Use this WikiHow for Windows Movie Maker or another tutorial is this link: The Basics of Windows Movie Maker. If you don't have Windows Movie Maker, you can download it from Microsoft at home. Publishing Your Movie Now you're finished and it's time to publish! Click this link for publishing your video: Windows Live Movie Maker Publisher |
