This 21-page report, published by Hoffman Estates High School, describes the design and construction of J.O.S.H., an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This report was created by HAWKS Engineering, a student group that participated in the 2021 MATE ROV competitions Ranger class. MATE ROV is...

This 5-page learning activity, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), helps students learn how to react in real-world situations in which clear communication and effective teamwork are vital to solving an urgent problem. In this case, a hazardous material spill is...

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. In this episode of ATETV, fuel cell technology, technical communication skills and women in aviation are discussed. ATE programs are perfect for people who want to head back to school in order to...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity to compare the amount of energy given off in combustion reactions. The experiment has two different objectives. The first is the comparison of heat energy given off between different fuel sources and the second is...

This paper, by Richard Walton of the Centre for Science Education at Sheffield Hallum University, takes Martin Heidegger's 1954 essay, The Question Concerning Technology, "as its starting point and applies it to a practical problem which is: Can interactive science and technology centers reveal the...

This 5-page resource, from the STEM Guitar Project, is an activity on acoustic resonance. "... this activity will explore how the hollow body of a guitar/ukulele works as an acoustic resonator, as well as what these instruments have in common with the Helmholtz resonator. This activity has the...

This teaching resource, provided by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN), touches on the issue of ethics in bio-nanotechnology for 6-12 teachers and adults. "Bio-nanotechnology is the application of nanotechnology to living things. This ranges from the creation of...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of semiconductor manufacturing. Students will learn about selective layering which is used to "build up some layers of patterned material so that very interesting things start to happen, like using voltage...
