Land Acknowledgement & Engineering
The practice of recognizing the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples where we live and work.
What is a Land Acknowledgement?
This sensor detects the physical movement of objects or people.
What is a Motion Sensor?
This microcontroller board is used for building projects and integrating sensors and motors.
What is an Arduino Uno?
These motors run on DC electricity and convert electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy. (i.e. fans & drills)
What is a DC Motor?
The function used to set initial conditions and configurations that only run once when the program starts.
What is void setup()?
A Mi'kmaw term for seeing the world with two perspectives, one through Indigenous knowledge and the other through Western science.
What is Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing)?
This sensor measures the amount of light in a space and can trigger actions like turning lights on or off.
What is a Light Sensor?
These pins on an Arduino board read signals that change gradually, providing data from 0 to 1023.
What are Analog Pins?
This type of motor is commonly used for precise control of rotation, often in robotics and automation systems.
What is a Servo Motor?
The function in Arduino code that runs repeatedly and is ideal for ongoing tasks such as sensor monitoring.
What is void loop()?
This refers to the engineering process where they design, build, and test to solve problems and improve society.
What is Engineering?
This sensor detects temperature and can send signals to control heating or cooling systems.
What is a Temperature Sensor?
These pins send or receive signals that are either HIGH (1) or LOW (0), often used to control on/off devices.
What are Digital Pins?
This device controls the motor’s speed, direction, and torque by adjusting the electrical power supplied to the motor.
What is a Motor Driver?
This technique in Arduino programming involves sending a pulse every 20 ms to control the rotation of a servo motor.
What is Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)?
Marco, Puvi & Jacky's Field of Study
What is Comp Science (Engineering), Mechanical Engineering & Software Engineering?
This sensor detects the presence of water, useful for applications like flood detection and irrigation systems.
What is a Moisture Sensor?
These pins supply power to connected components like LEDs, sensors, and motors on an Arduino board.
What are Power Pins/Voltage?
A windshield uses which type of motor?
What is DC motor?
A loop used to repeat a block of code while a condition remains true.
What is a While Loop?
The process engineers follow to solve problems, which involves identifying a problem, brainstorming solutions, prototyping, and testing the result.
What is the Engineering Design Process?
This sensor uses sound waves to detect distance between the sensor and an object in its path.
What is an Ultrasonic Sensor?
The programming environment used to write and upload code to an Arduino board as well as the language they use.
What is the Arduino IDE & C/C++?
This type of motor can rotate to a specific angle, commonly used for precise movement in robotic joints.
What is a Stepper Motor/Servo that is modified?
This signal can either be HIGH (1) or LOW (0), often used to control devices like LEDs or buttons.
What is a Digital Signal?
