I want to convert kilograms into stone.
1 stone is 14 pounds1 kg is 2.2 pounds
Stone = (kg × 2.2) / 14
So, let's turn this formula into a program!
Maths Problem Solving in Python
Maths Problem Solving in Python
mass_kg = int(input("What is your mass in kilograms?" ))mass_stone = mass_kg * 2.2 / 14print("You weigh", mass_stone, "stone.")
Programming involves decomposition of a problem.
Students break the problem down into component parts and solve each step in sequence

3D Printing
Build 3D model files using Tinkercad – a free, online program
Students work with digital dimensions & geometrics
3D Printing
Project Idea - STEAM
Students investigate global superstructures – design, materials, geography, etc.
Create their own unique superstructure design, for social good, and print a prototype model of it

Derek the Drone
Horizontal speed = 32 feet per second
Descent speed = 20 feet per second
Teaches students how to calculate distances + how drones work
