This game teaches students about cyber security issues by asking questions after spinning a wheel and moving your game piece around the board.

Created as part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, “Aggie LIFE” was created by the Division of Information Technology to test your cyber smarts.

Explore some of the wonders of modern engineering in this video from the Sciencenter in Ithaca, New York. Hear a diverse selection of engineers explain how things work.

What is computer coding? This simple animation explains and illustrates this concept to young learners. [1:08]

Students learn how engineers gather data and model motion using vectors. They learn about using motion-tracking tools to observe, record, and analyze vectors associated with the motion of their own bodies. They do this qualitatively and quantitatively by analyzing several examples of their own body motion. As a final presentation, student teams act as engineering consultants and propose the use of (free) ARK Mirror technology to help sports teams evaluate body mechanics. A pre/post quiz is provided.

In a few minutes, with Code.org's simple drag-and-drop tutorials students can make their own Flappy game from any web browser or tablet, and share it instantly with friends. [1:33]

How would you look for a book in a library if the books were sorted in alphabetical order? Is that easier than if they were out of order?

Careers in computer science and technology can be fun and rewarding. But what does a person working in these fields really do? With a vast variety of jobs and companies, there's not just one answer to this question. Watch the videos to meet some of the people who are tackling big problems in creative ways, then use one of the interactive tools below to learn more about fields and careers that interest you.

Learn about the Chandra X-Ray Observatory's telescope system, science instruments, and spacecraft system in this interactive activity adapted from NASA.

Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.

Students will use code to write a program in Apps Script to create a joke-telling talkbot. Time to complete: 45-90 minutes

A deep dive into course materials, teaching practices, and strategies for continuing to teach Code.org's Introduction to Computer Science for K5.

This list is a collection of instructional materials to help educators access resources supporting coding in the curriculum. Each item included in the collection is premium content licensed or purchased by INFOhio or an open access item that has been reviewed by educational professionals. Educators should review all materials before sharing with students.

This video from NASA describes the detailed computer modeling used to predict that colliding neutron stars can produce gamma-ray bursts similar to those associated with black holes.

Learn to make good financial decisions by researching and comparing costs and spending in a spreadsheet. Time to complete: 7-9 hours

Students gain experience with the software/system design process, closely related to the engineering design process, to solve a problem. First, they learn about the Mars Curiosity rover and its mission, including the difficulties that engineers must consider and overcome to operate a rover remotely. Students observe a simulation of a robot being controlled remotely. These experiences guide discussion on how the design process is applied in these scenarios. The lesson culminates in a hands-on experience with the design process as students simulate the remote control of a rover. In the associated activity, students gain further experience with the design process by creating an Android application using App Inventor to control one aspect of a remotely controlled vehicle. (Note: The lesson requires a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT base set.)

A vertiport is a new type of facility for vertical takeoff and landing of various Advanced Air Mobility vehicles, such as drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. You could informally call these “drone airports”. Vertiports will be used for medium and short distance services, including healthcare supply delivery.

Through this hands-on curriculum, students will learn about vertiports, drones, and “advanced air mobility”; brainstorm ideas on how to design a vertiport; identify ways to make a functional, sustainable, and safe design; and build a model of a vertiport from cardboard and loose parts.

In this activity, students will create block code using the DroneBlocks app and will test their code after going through a pre-flight safety check. Students will experiment, test, and modify their code to achieve their desired goals, ultimately drawing connections to smart mobility technology.
