The 3DuxDesign "GOBOX with Sustainable Energy Packs" offers an ideal combination for hands-on learning in any grade 5-12 classroom. With ample materials for a variety of engineering and design projects, this kit supports basic 3DuxDesign challenges while also complementing other hands-on modeling activities, ensuring students can explore a wide range of STEM concepts.
The Sustainable Energy Kit engages students in building anything from a tiny home to entire communities powered by wind and solar energy, diving into the mechanics of renewable energy while optimizing designs with parallel and series circuit concepts. Students will discover that wind turbines, with their higher voltage, allow for series connections, while solar panels operate in parallel circuits. For older students, switches and voltmeters provide the opportunity for deeper exploration of voltage, current, and their real-world applications in energy systems.
To make implementation seamless, the kit includes easy-to-follow facilitator and student guides, ensuring an out-of-the-box learning experience that is scaffolded to build understanding while offering open-ended extensions to enrich and extend the project-based learning experience. This approach not only fosters critical thinking and creativity but also empowers students to explore how renewable energy solutions can be applied to their own communities, considering local environmental factors and challenges.
