PREPARE YOUR STEM CLASSROOM ULTRON.INOV SCHOOLS Checklist · Educators · Planning resource LEARNING GOAL Prepare a practical classroom routine for safe, collaborative STEM work. MATERIALS - An inventory of available equipment - A workstation plan - A visible classroom routine ACTIVITY 1. Check power sources, cables, work surfaces and space for moving prototypes. Keep liquids away from electronics. 2. Organise equipment by group and label reusable components. Check that the tools match student age and supervision. 3. Assign rotating roles such as builder, programmer, tester and documenter. 4. Plan a check-in, a testing area and an end-of-session routine for powering down and returning parts. REFLECT - Can every group reach the materials they need? - How will students ask for help and report a damaged part? - How will you document progress between sessions? EXTENSION Ask students to create a visual equipment-return checklist for their group. CLASSROOM NOTE Use age-appropriate equipment and supervision. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, disconnect power before changing connections, and keep liquids away from electronics.
