Each student created their own game of chance, recorded the results, and gave prizes to winners. Tossing rings around bottles, rolling dice, number walks, hoop tossing and various versions of the shell game were just a few of the creative ideas. This innovative activity helped the students learn about probability in math, and everyone had a great time.

Students are to program the robot using ultrasonic sensors, touch sensors, sound sensors, etc. They have to think through the logic to write the program so that the robot will perform the required task. This is just one of the many projects completed in our AP Physics class. These students can receive college credit for passing the AP test which will be given in May.
