Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project is for a combination of linear actuators, switches, and power supplies. The power supplies provide 12V to the system. The switches act as two way switches that reverse the polarity of the signal. The linear actuator has a component that extends and retracts based on the signal received from the switch.

These materials will be used in STEM and robotics.

The linear actuators can be used in robotics to control robotic arms or claws. In STEM, these can be used to open and close doors, drop platforms, or other engineering projects. Thank you for donating these to our classroom!
