Curriculum or Lesson Topics: Below you'll find 8 sample projects you can do with BOSON Project Project Description EP01 Can robot cheer for us? In this workshop, students need to work in teams to design and make a cheering robot. Every time you pass by the cheering robot, it will cheer you up by making actions and sounds. EP02 How to make a street lamp smart? In this workshop, students need to work in teams to design and make a smart street lamp for the government. The smart street lamp is required to be turned on only when sound is detected during the night time(no daylight). EP03 How to make an electric fan that changes speed? In this workshop, students will design and make an electric fan. It can not only blow out the wind but also change the speed, just like a real electric fan does. EP04 How does a lamp become intelligent? In this workshop, students will design and make a night light. The night light is so amazing because it can automatically turn on at night and off at day. EP05 How to build a torch with our own hands? In this workshop, students will work together to design and make a hand power flashlight. Press the button, it turns on. EP06 Can we store our voice inside a box? In this workshop, students will design and make a message box. Like the answering machine in our daily life, the box can record our voice and play it. EP07 How to prepare a surprise box? In this workshop, students will design and make a gift box. This gift box will surprise anyone who opens it. EP08 How to make a shiny crown?
