It was so exciting to see my first motor move and to hear the swish! All the experiments and coding went smoothly. I finally felt like I knew and understood what was happening. Mistakes along the way but I feel more empowered now. Yay! We had take off! My first time ever with these types of motors. I would use these experiment to show students that persistence can pay off. I would teach them to keep trying and take breaks. The push button worked!! Faster, slower and reverse and forward motion. I will be showing my son this motor tomorrow. This finally worked for me! I just had made a mistake in one of the other experiments putting the code in.

Chesley - have you tried motors with Squishy Circuits! Might be a great way for your younger learners to explore motors.
