This lab will practice different skills learned throughout the semester through the use of a board game. The game is focused on Deaf culture, describing physical appearance, and the five parameters of signs. The students will play the game together and work on their communication skills throughout by answering and engaging with the game cards.

Students learn how two LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT intelligent bricks can be programmed so that one can remotely control the other. They learn about the components and functionality in the (provided) controller and receiver programs. When its buttons are pressed, the NXT brick assigned as the remote control device uses the controller program to send Bluetooth® messages. When the NXT taskbot/brick assigned as the receiver receives certain Bluetooth messages, it moves, as specified by the receiver program. Students examine how the programs and devices work in tandem, gaining skills as they play "robot soccer." As the concluding activity in this unit, this activity provides a deeper dimension of understanding programming logic compared to previous activities in this unit and introduces the relatively new and growing concept of wireless communication. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quizzes and a worksheet are provided.

Students learn about five types of renewable energy that are part of engineering solutions to help people in rural communities use less and cleaner energy for cooking and heating. Specifically, students learn about the pollution and health challenges facing families in rural China, and they are introduced to the concept of optimization. Through an energy game, students differentiate between renewable and non-renewable sources of energy.

A Python Functions activity - "Scrabble game" - for CS0 students. Part of the CUNY CS04All project.

In this activity, students will practice vocabulary by asking "yes" and "no" questions to figure out a secret word. If they figure out the secret word before time is up, they win!

This game is designed to test, reinforce, and enhance students' understanding of Social Security Law. I've used it in several different ways: as a game that students play in class, with a prize for the winning student or team (playing the game and discussing the correct answers takes about one hour of class time); as a closed-book quiz that students take in class, followed by discussion of the correct answers (again, about one hour of class time); and as an open-book assignment that students complete before class, followed by discussion of the correct answers in class (about 30 minutes of class time).

Students are going to play a game as their warm-up by creating a storyline using vocabulary words learned in class. For the main activity, the students will create questions to be used in the next conversation lab. They will have an example question to guide them in the process of creating their own.

Students will play a game called "Colorful Vocabulary". Students will practice describing people, places, and items using a game. This will teach students how to describe multiple topics using different vocabulary words.

This game is designed to test, reinforce, and enhance students' understanding of Special Education Law. I've used it in several different ways: as a game that students play in class, with a prize for the winning student or team (playing the game and discussing the correct answers takes about one hour of class time); as a closed-book quiz that students take in class, followed by discussion of the correct answers (again, about one hour of class time); and as an open-book assignment that students complete before class, followed by discussion of the correct answers in class (about 30 minutes of class time).

In this activity, students will play a game to review the conversation skills acquired this past semester. This activity will be a review of questions, introductions, and basic information. The goal is for students to be able to sign a response to the questions as fast as they can.

Students apply their knowledge of constructing and programming LEGO MINDSTORMS (TM)NXT robots to create sumobots - strong robots capable of pushing other robots out of a ring. To meet the challenge, groups follow the steps of the engineering design process and consider robot structure, weight and gear ratios in their designs to make their robots push as hard as possible to force robot opponents out of the ring. A class competition serves as the final test to determine the best designed robot, illustrating the interrelationships between designing, building and programming. This activity gives students the opportunity to be creative as well as have fun applying and combining what they have learned through the previous activities and lessons in this and prior units in the series. A PowerPoint (tm) presentation, pre/post quizzes and a worksheet are provided.

A fun module for students to introduce them to synthetic biology. Includes a presentation and an activity in which students pair up to complete. Recommended to do this activity in-class offline. It takes about 1-1.5 hours to complete.

This game helps students use descriptions to describe a word. Students will learn how to use other vocabulary words to have their peers guess a particular word. Students will also get to play Hangman to help with their fingerspelling skills.

In Convene the Council, students will take on the role of President of the United States and respond to world events with the support of their National Security Council.

This is a game designed to promote understanding of the importance of zero cost course materials and open educational resources. It is targeted to be useful for teaching students about the financial importance of searching for courses that use OER or ZCCM. This resource is CC BY.

Tic Tac Toe game in Java!in this Java source, students will learn how to develop a simple game for two persons. This game is developed in three versions. The first one does not use an array and only uses primitive variables. The second version uses a 1-dimensional array and the third one uses a 2-dimensional array

Short Description:
A workbook for bringing new voices into public debate based on the performance creation approach developed by Transforming Stories, Driving Change.

Long Description:
Can theatre bring new voices into public debate? Facilitating theatre workshops with community members who experience social marginalization is an art that, when done well, feels more like magic. But even the best facilitators are not magicians. With this workbook we pull back the curtain on the magic by taking readers behind the scenes of the Hamilton-based research and performance initiative Transforming Stories, Driving Change (TSDC.) Since 2015, TSDC teams have worked alongside community partners and performer-advocates to make plays designed to draw attention to the voices and visions of people whose opinions are not often represented in discussions of the future of the City. Through our performances, we have tried to contribute to building the movements that can make public leaders more accountable to people who are affected by their decisions. Five years and four plays later, we offer this workbook as a practical guide to TSDC’s creative approach.

• Create cohesive user experiences across different platforms
• Evaluate existing and emerging technologies to share your story with the world, and help your audience participate in the larger storyworld you create

The course provides you with a unique, authentic, and industry relevant learning opportunity. You will have access to current theory, industry examples and advice and undertake learning activities that will equip you with the tools you need to start developing your own ideas.

In this activity, students will practice talking about themselves and others through a game of Two Truths and a Lie. Students will tell the group two things that are true about themselves and one lie. The rest of the group will then guess what is true and what is the lie!
