LEGO Engineering Projects at Marshall University Family Life Association

MUFLA LEGO Engineering PROJECTS
Family members of Marshall University professors get together to do LEGO projects as one of the interest groups of Marshall Family Life Association. It was been a way to introduce more of the k12 community to the math/science projects Linda Hamilton does in part with a NASA k12 outreach grant.
Two cranes and a plane were made by the "About Five's" Group.

The about five year olds used LEGO Toolos to build a way to get to school.

A group with two different ages worked on different parts of a project that turned out to be a theater for a play.

Theater Front	View Front Behind Stage
Stage	Audience

The plan was to use gears and pulleys. The rotating stage uses both. A curtain was made to open and close using pulleys and later a motor was added with gears. An audience was made and places for people to sit were built that included a balcony.
Note: This idea was used again.

The Robotics have come in! The next Saturdays have been on Robotics.
This colorful robot really turns fast.

So far, five math professors, seven Marshall University Students, and more than sixteen young students have built LEGO projects this fall.

The camera is used to "see" where the rover is driving. This is the black and white camera used for some of the pictures.

The radio controlled car has a fiber optics robot attached that lights up as the car moves.

The kitty follows the light.
