The Databot Game fired up an intense new challenge recently. We were in Salt Lake City at the NSTA Regional Conference attended by thousands of science educators. The Databot Game is a fun approach to exploring the invisible world of data that surrounds us. It facilitates learning about sensor data in a way that naturally engages students in learning core science concepts addressed by databot’s on-board sensors. Databot’s sensors were specifically designed to provide a plethora of options for educators to teach Earth Science, Physics, Chemistry, Life Science, and even Environmental Science.

For about a week each year, the staffing here at Educational Innovations swells by a whopping 500%. These extra hands come to us largely from local high schools, with a few college students and adults mixed in. The question you are doubtless asking is WHY?
Long story, but stick with me, it’s interesting…

Two of my favorite things are bubbles and balloons. I once had a part-time job delivering balloons. How I loved that job! I learned a lot about gas laws. I found out balloons take up less volume in cold weather and expand in hot weather. (Some of those lessons I learned the hard way.) I gained plenty of insight into people… and tips… and, of course, balloons!
