Discover, understand and connect principles in science, engineering design, mathematics and coding with
activities that are set in the context of real-world problems and challenges.
These free, project-based learning lessons are ideal for middle grades and high school classrooms, after-school programs, clubs, summer camps, and special STEM events.
All Projects are designed for groups of 3-4 students.
This project is the perfect introduction to doing STEM projects. Digital mood ring combines introductory coding with input & output feedback control. Start your STEM journey with the Digital Mood Ring activity.

This project uses the new TI-SensorLink™ Adapter (can you make this linked and open up a new window?) which enables the use of certain Vernier sensors to connect with the TI-Innovator™ Hub. Students will check the temperature of their favorite beverage (hot or cold) and use that data to inform the color of the TI-Innovator™ Hub’s built-in LED. They define the temperature thresholds and the light color to indicate various drink temperatures. Some like it tepid is very similar in scope to the digital mood ring project.

The Mars Rover Challenge gives students a little taste of what NASA engineers do everyday. Moving a rover requires coding. This project introduces students to use code to control real-world hardware to do jobs necessary to accomplish a task. It’s the perfect introduction to coding and hardware control.

In this Math in Motion Plus activity, students will write their own program for the TI-Innovator™ Rover. They will use several commonly used Rover and basic calculator commands while exercising their knowledge of polygons, the coordinate plane, and equations of lines to write code to have the Rover complete a series of challenges.
