Curriculum for interdisciplinary collaboration according to the subject renewal lk20 and the subjects arts and crafts, science, mathematics, programming or coding, Norwegian and English.
Description:
Hover:bit is a fast and agile hovercraft for micro:bit. The sustainable design uses recycled cardboard and students will design their very own version.
Suitable for: 6th - 10th grade
Number of hours: 6 - 18
Equipment:
We all have different interests, some like design and art, while others like science and math. We learn best when we are doing something we are interested in. A good way to get students engaged is to let them work on what they find fun. Cross-curricular projects give students the opportunity to work with different subjects, even if they were primarily and initially interested in something else.
Students will have a better understanding of all areas of the project. They will also have a better chance of mastering subjects that were previously challenging.
Here is a list of possible tasks
Hover:bit is a STEAM-based construction kit that combines practical skills, science and coding.
Powerful drone motors fill a cushion of air that pushes the hovercraft forward at up to 30 km/h.
Hover:bit is controlled and programmed with micro:bit a small computer created by the BBC for use in education. Read more about it below.
The interdisciplinary collaboration project can combine the subjects: Mathematics, Arts and Crafts, Science, Geography, History, Norwegian and English.
The teaching program is designed in line with the subject renewal LK20, the competence goals and the overall goals of the curriculum.
Number of hours: 6 - 18
In this project, students will study and explore the Hover:bit hovercraft. A frictionless vehicle with a stable construction.
Students will:
In the link below you will find the resources your school needs to implement a similar program.
We know how important it is to feel confident in the teaching materials and tools you use in your teaching. That's why we offer courses and competence development for teachers.
You will gain expertise in the use of micro:bit, programming (makecode), electronics, use of 3D printer, laser cutter and vinyl cutter. In addition to expertise in troubleshooting.
Getting help with the initial implementation can be an important factor. This is something we have good experience with. Therefore, something we at MakeKit can assist with.
Our contribution can be agreed with the school management.
