Assessment
This course is to provide information to help students understand the functions and connectivity of motors. This course will not be assessed.

Class Experience

Technic motors are a great addition for learners building and engineering platform. 
Each model and steps to completions are well layered and allows the builder to appreciate the function of each motor and mechanism.  

This session will cover:
- question and challenges you may have for innovating or creating a custom project. 
- sharing my screen to walk you through building and connectivity challenges. 
- your model/design so I can offer suggestions to help you get your desired outcome.
- for those who have the Technic motor or considering getting it.
- basic questions to advanced question.
- group discussions about motors and other projects you are using the set for.   

This session is for Power Function battery powered motors (not for programmable/app motors (see my other sessions on these motors)

Learning Goals

You will learn:
- there usually more than one way to solve a problem. 
- how to get answers to your questions about connecting a motor to your creation.
- to expand your understanding and use or the motor(s) to get more out of your creations.
