Our current maker space for the Project Lead the Way curriculum consists of some desktops that are on the outskirts of the classroom. They are located on a narrow counter and students must connect their automated robot builds to the desktops via a USB. The problem is two-fold. There is limited space to test design prototypes on this counter area. Also, there is not a complete class set of desktops so students have to share and wait their turn.
Our classroom has eight large lab tables which would be perfect for a classroom laptop setup. Students can work on their design at their desks with ample room next to the laptops and their robot designs. Students will not longer have to wait to gain access to an unused desktop, plug in their robot to the desktop to the micro-controller, and then troubleshoot their software code.
With a classroom laptop set, students could work seamlessly and more efficiently without have to travel back and for around the classroom and waste precocious time during their SEM PLTW robotics and engineering class.
