Self-Automated Watering System 

STEAMwhiz’s Robo Ecology  – Spring Semester 2022 is almost one for the books! The final week of labs is June 13-17th. This past semester SW students took their design, coding, and robotic skills to the next level by creating a self-automated watering system by utilizing CAD & vector art software, Python coding, and advanced physical computing elements & devices. Developing analytical thinkers – the ability to tackle a complex problem by breaking it into specific, workable components – is a core value here at STEAMwhiz. Our Input vs Output: Sensor Squish Lab lab was one of the many hands-on, inquiry labs preparing students for such a large, complex problem. Check out Kiera (below) explaining how robots and automated systems take in information from the physical world and do something in the virtual one!

Flower Box Electronics Add-On

Keep Tinkering & Doing @ home by ordering the Automated Flower Box Electronics.

The STEAMwhiz Flower Box Electronics Kit Add-On will allow your SW student to continue to investigate and experiment with their own Python coded Self-Automated Watering System and grow their plants using code, robotics, and automation. Wanna know the best part? This package includes a re-programmable Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, which can then be reprogrammed to be used for other projects in the future!

Early Fall Registration

By popular demand, our Fall 2022 Semester is OPEN for early registration. 

STEAMwhiz’s 2022-2023 Academic Year will be using Nature as a Design Partner as we explore and investigate Math, Art,  and Coding with Physical Computing.

It’s never too EARLY to prepare your student for THEIR future!

A New Experience

STEAMwhiz, Physical Computing, & Raspberry Pi's, Oh My!!

What is physical computing, why is it important, and how is STEAMwhiz empowering the next generation of thinkers & doers?

We are working towards this goal by creating both in-person labs and digital courses (coming Fall/Winter 2022). This means that we are not developing one-off projects but a deep curriculum for students rooted in (S)cience (T)ech (E)ngineering (A)rt (M)ath to provide the fundamental and technical acumen to become the innovative problem solvers of tomorrow.
