Education appropriate apps

Apps appropriate for education if:
  • Similar to real life industrial apps
  • Construction in Lego possible with reasonable amount of parts
  • Construction able to be moved
    • Extra plus if simple enough students can build
  • Possible with some HW and 4diac
  • Basic app can be improved some
So far....

++ Lego EV3 Model Color Sorter

Video:LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Color Sorter.
Program: Program with description.
Construction:  
 Needs EV3 basic core edu set and 2-5 hours to build (long for class)

+++ Lego Water Pump

Video: Many videos, nothing standardized. See separate exploratory post (coming) for links with notes.
Program: None, but student could be assigned to pump water from one container to another and stop when water at correct height or too low or test rate of flow.
Construction:  Simple enough students could build quickly and design own impeller

  • See videos for How Tos now
  • Needs regular Lego parts

+ Automated LEGO warehouse, AS-RS system

Video:of Automated LEGO warehouse, AS-RS system 
++-Program (s) : Realistic app, but program not shared, but could be replicated with each student group doing a part
+--Construction:  


  • +Not shared, but simple enough to be replicated from video. 
  • - Probably too many Lego parts needed to be feasible.
