the Space Shuttle Experience! In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Program and the upcoming final flight, NASA has released the Space Shuttle Experience website. This comprehensive and interactive tool provides a multitude of resources for students of all education levels. Users can participate in a variety of interactive experiences to learn about the Space Shuttle Program's accomplishments, what it takes to launch a shuttle, astronaut living, how the program affects life daily here on Earth and much more. The site uses several engaging features that will keep students enthralled, including trivia games with Facebook score sharing, a poll for users to vote on the program's greatest achievement and a virtual signature wall which gives users the opportunity to leave a personal message to the program. And the fun and education doesn't stop when students log off; the site also includes lesson plans that correspond with the site's activities. As an educator, all the resources are supplied to seamlessly walk your students from the activities they experience online into engrossing lessons in the classroom.

"how engineers can use biomimicry to enhance their designs. They learn how careful observation of nature - in this case, reverse engineering a flower to glean design ideas - can lead to new innovations and products. "

"Watch how engineers are crossing engineering disciplines and industries to apply computing, technology, math and science to solve complex world problems. The video encourages viewers to think about how the 1.6 million engineers worldwide are behind some of the greatest innovations and inventions of modern times."

"Want to make sure you win the coin toss just a little more often than you should? I certainly do, so I made some unfair coins. We'll use the beta distribution to see just how unfair they are. "

Volts, Amps & Ohms-How to Measure -  how to use a multi-meter to measure volts, amps, and ohm from EAA SportAir Workshop for the Electrical Systems, Wiring and Avionics workshop.

The Milky Way Project aims to sort and measure our galaxy, the Milky Way. Initially we're asking you to help us find and draw bubbles in beautiful infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. Understanding the cold, dusty material that we see in these images, helps scientists to learn how stars form and how our galaxy changes and evolves with time.

PlaneMath Activities Main Page. You can go directly to a lesson, get some help to get started, check out other great places on the Web, or have your teacher/parent learn how to use this Site. examples - Flight Path: Find the shortest path between 2 cities. Plane Capacity Plane Capacity: How many people can board your plane?

"In this activity you should use your knowledge of forces to explain how animals move! Remember that it is normally the reaction force on the body of an animal which gives rise to the resultant force. To obtain a reaction force, an action force must be applied in the opposite direction. There must be a resultant force on the body to change the velocity of the body. "

"A "How it's made" video showing how they make something that makes other things. Specifically, a laser cutting machine. The coolest thing we didn't know before seeing the video is that a laser beam must be the appropriate shape in order to cut optimally, just like a router bit or a kitchen knife designed for a specific task. "

"Welcome to our website about the "How Can Science Save the World?" video. We hope you enjoy learning more about our topics and how we made it."

Our trip to Oshkosh this year, a proven necessary part of out aviation connection presence, will be extra special. Lydia will be travelling and will be sharing her story with many as she is in the USA for 2 weeks. Lydia is really progressing and has a desire to change other peoples lives in relation to health and technology so that others do not have to suffer as she has. We will be 'based' out of the Zenith stand, and would love to share with any who attend Oshkosh WHY we use the Zenith aircraft and also how we carry out the bag- and bottle-drops as well as a sneak peak into the planned skid-drop concepts we are currently working on.

"Within a decade of the Wright brothers' 1903 flight, in 1912, a Pennsylvanian named Emory Malick unknowingly began apattern by having to go all the way to Southern California before he could find somebody willing to teach a black person how to fly. He became the first African-American to earn a pilot's license."

"The researchers demonstrated that an "electrified" snail could be a living battery producing up to 7 milliwatts. Although the power output decreased rapidly, feeding the snail could partially refuel it straight away. Alternatively, allowing the snail to rest for about half an hour would allow it to recharge. "

Ketchikan SeaGlide (Underwater Glider) Summer Camp 2012 Underwater Gliders Learn from Navy engineers how to build and operate your own underwater glider to collect and analyze aquatic data, and learn about marine acoustics. · Students entering grades 7-9; limited to 15 students Ketchikan: August 6-10, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, UAS Technology Campus, Robertson R117, 600 Stedman Street Register by June 8 STEMAK.org, a program of the Juneau Economic Development Council, conducts and supports programs to foster interest and participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities for Alaska's youth statewide.

"immense opportunities that come with touch-screen tablets also bring the responsibility to make new plans, set new limits and take time to play with these new tech-tools ourselves.  As both an educator and app developer, I can see how challenging it is to find apps that are out there, somewhere, that dovetail with school curriculum. For educators who are investigating which elements of technology and learning apps to use in their classrooms we encourage asking some key questions."

get your passport to the exciting world of mat h and science at the Embry-Riddle campus . "Visit Japan" to computer-design your own animé cartoon characters. "Visit Egypt" to study the pyramids and how to "mummify" apples. "Visit China" to explore the Great Wall and the process of making paper. "Visit space" and learn about the International Space Station. Have fun learning about physics, robotics, computer-aided drawing, chemistry, basic engineering, and space science.

"Last week, Davin Coburn headed to the Pacific Northwest to learn about one company's revolutionary new build process for their high-performance kitplane-and then to go for a test drive, to figure out what it was like 180 degrees from a midtown Manhattan office. Catch up with his journey by clicking here, then learn how to build your own plane below..."

"Why Mixed Devices? Our aim for using mixed devices was to challenge teachers and students to really integrate technology into their instruction and learning. By having multiple devices available, users are challenged to determine which device best suits their learning purpose, and teachers are also challenged to rethink how they are using technology. "

"This tutorial introduces children, ages 7-9, to the concept of online privacy and teaches them to distinguish between information that is appropriate to give out and information better kept private - and to recognize how this may change in different contexts."
