This episode focuses on how to keep your BILT engaged. This video runs 04:57 minutes in length. Additional videos from the series are available to view separately
Team SUNK: Technical Report
No full textThis 23-page report, from Medford Vocational Technical High School, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by Team SUNK for the Ranger Class of the 2023 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.The report begins with an abstract introducing Team SUNK and their ROV followed by a discussion of project management and team member's role in the project. The design rationale section provides an overview of the design and construction of the ROV and discusses innovation and problem solving. Next, the report covers the ROV's software and control system, trade-offs in decision making, and whether to build, reuse, or buy parts. The construction of the ROV is then covered. Also discussed is safety, challenges, lessons learned, finances, and more. Systems integration diagrams (SIDs) are included for the ROV and the vertical profiling float.Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately

Lesson Plan: Math
No full textThese two algebra lesson plans are from the American Samoa Technician Education Readiness Pathway Project (ASTERP). ASTERP aims to adapt the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded guitar building program to prepare students in American Samoa for entry into technician education programs. The project features unique lesson plans, designed to address gaps in STEM education, that incorporate the skills and knowledge required to pursue technician careers into the guitar building curriculum.The lesson plans accompany each day of math instruction in the ASTERP guitar building workshop and include learning objectives, essential questions, prerequisite skills, vocabulary, and materials. The first lesson plan covers days one through nine and the second covers days 10 through 17.Additional resources from ASTERP's guitar program are available separately
