Description

Over 30 million Wii remotes have been sold and many of our students have or do use them. You will learn how to use the Wiimote as a 3-axis accelerometer in the physics lab. Then, you will assemble an IR pen and use the Wiimote to create a fairly Smart Board for use in your classroom. Participants MUST bring their own Wiimote to the workshop.
