In our strangely detached world it can seem like a miracle to build something out of pieces and see it work.

The Navy's Office of Naval Research gave a bunch of robot model kits to students, and they took a month's worth of classes to explore the mathematics, physics and electronics of their new creations.

Then, in the climax of the course, they were able to use a US Navy test basin to check out their creations in action!

This seems like a really great way to get students interested in science.
