Example projects
Explore classroom projects built with AI. Each activity includes a guide to its model, assumptions, and teaching use. Start with a learning goal and inspect the evidence before adapting a project for your class.
⛳Orbital Mechanics Golf
Fly seven orbital missions with real Newtonian gravity and discover why the same burn buys more energy near periapsis.
🌉Truss Bridge Builder
Build a truss, watch the real solver expose tension, buckling, and collapse, then compete for the cheapest bridge that survives.
🚦PLC Ladder Logic Trainer
Step through a real PLC scan cycle, edit ladder logic, and diagnose injected faults on an animated four-way intersection.
🏗️Construction Scheduling
Build a construction schedule while a real CPM engine shifts the critical path and shared events test every team fairly.
🎯Engineering Trivia
Estimate forty engineering quantities on linear and logarithmic scales, then see how well your numerical intuition is calibrated.
〰Wavelet Lab
Keep or remove Haar coefficients, reconstruct signals and images, and compare visual quality with measured numerical error.
⚡Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer
Predict and time ion flights, then use detector evidence to separate mass and charge effects without claiming more than the trace shows.
🧪Inhibitor Investigation
Choose up to four enzyme assays, compare three candidate inhibition patterns, and learn when exact measurements still leave a tie.
🪨Gaps in the Rock Record
Read synthetic rock layers, find evidence for missing intervals, and practice claims that stop where the local record stops.
🦉What the Survey Missed
Survey fixed synthetic sites across repeated rounds and discover why fewer sightings do not by themselves prove lower occupancy.
🎈Ideal Gas Law Simulator
Watch particles bounce in a box, measure pressure from the walls they hit, and test the ideal gas law against that measurement — then grow the particles and watch it drift.
