Anyone want to try something new?

For the past 3 months I have sweated over a set of 4 schemes of work (units) for the University of the First Age, that teachers can take and use to run courses with children, and they are finally finished.

There are four. Pow-Zap, about using super capacitors.
Kinetic, about building large water powered sculptures.
NXT-H20, about solving a design problem using the LEGO NXT system.
2-Take, designing and prototyping an alternative bicycle load carrier.







If you contact the UFA, they should be able to give you more details about the units, and you might like to try running them yourself. The units contain a full SOW, technical details, online bookmarks, oodles of 3D models and 2D sketches, as well as powerpoint introductions and worksheets where required. The Schemes of Work alone run to about 36 pages so there's plenty of material to guide you!
