This 12-page report, published by Sevastopol State University, describes the design and construction of an underwater remotely operated vehicle. This report was created by a group that participated in the 2021 MATE Russia-Far East Regional ROV competitions Explorer class. MATE ROV is a global...

This experiment, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers Shape Memory Alloys or Smart Materials. A Smart Material or Shape Memory Alloys belongs to a class of materials which displays the shape memory effect (SME); they possess the ability to radically change crystal...

This video, made available by the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC), is part of the NEATEC Digital Electronics Series from Professor Roger Young. This video describes shift registers, including serial, parallel, and rotation. This video runs 24:09 minutes in length.

There are many curriculum materials, professional development, and student enrichment activities available on this website. These resources are designed for teachers and students ranging from K-12 through higher education. Most resources are interactive and engage the students on many different...

This website, from Sierra College, offers Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) integrated curriculum resources. Lessons and reports are available for educators, as well as resources, information on STEM schools, and more. Sections for students and business partners are also offered. 

This video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), is an animation which shows the viewer how to make an origami 3-D crystal from a template developed by Jack Judy at UCLA. Through this animation, "the 3-D crystal allows you to "see" the different planes of a silicon crystal,...

Created by Patrick Hoppe of the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, this primer introduces the student to the key terms and concepts associated with the silicon diode. This is a nice introductory flash presentation for those interested in this topic.

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students how to measure the efficiency of a solar cell. Students will compare the output power of a silicon PV cell with the input power of incandescent light bulbs illuminating the PV from a set distance. A Teacher's...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concepts of material properties. Students will study the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles and "document and communicate the entire process via their scientific notebook." A Teacher Preparation...

This learning module from the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC) explores the simple fabrication of a super-hydrophobic surface. Educators can incorporate this module into an existing STEM class. Essential questions and objectives of the learning module are provided alongside...
