Bill VanLoo used the Vibrobot project from MAKE, Volume 10 with his students at Honey Creek Community School.
The 4/5 technology classes built Vibrobots for one of their project this year. Vibrobots are small electric bug-like creatures that are built from a small metal or plastic enclosure (think mint tin), a motor, and some ingenuity.
Essentially, this is a project that lets kids do some hands-on learning about electronics and electricity, and how to use the design process to create their own toy.
This project came from the pages of MAKE magazine.
