Davis Creek Elementary
 Intelligent House Projects 1998-99
 
Davis Creek Elementary's fifth grade class has been working on the LEGO Dacta Control Lab Intelligent House Project.  The students use LEGO Dacta Control Lab software to build and program the fan, burgler alarm, garage door,  satellite dish, keylock, and photo gate door entry.  The students worked in pairs doing one of the set projects and ended by doing a design of their own with programming.  The pictures below are a sampling of the Intelligent House Projects the eighteen fifth graders did the month of October.  Under the pictures are examples of some of the programs written by fifth grade students.
