Tempest

Reach out and hold the interest of students as they
participate in a variety of challenges that cross subject matter
boundaries. Capture students©interest by incorporating robotics in a new and
exciting way. The Tempest console suspends balls on columns of
air. Students manipulate robots to move balls from their columns in sequential
patterns that require a variety of communication and cognitive skills. Tempest
comes with three challenges suitable for middle and elementary classes. The
onboard CPU is fully programmable for upgrade capability with additional system
cartridges. Tempest includes manipulatives and a floor stand.
Tempest helps students gain practical, hands-on experience
in problem solving, teamwork, coordination, and critical thinking skills. It
provides valuable knowledge about pattern recognition, automation, circles, arcs,
measurement, timing, angles and planes. Tempest is a concrete example of how
air flow, pressurization, and Bernoulli's Principle are applied - all within an exciting
classroom activity.
