It captures thousands of data points per second and translates them into clear, student-ready visuals—so learners can focus on interpreting results, not wrestling with raw numbers. The DataSnap Motion Sensor is intended for use with our DataSnap Air Racer, Impact, and Projectiles Classroom Solutions and Starter Packs. Purchasing additional sensors enables more students to gather data at the same time.  With DataSnap, students measure: Velocity Acceleration Force Height Flight Time Impact dynamics and more! Why Teachers Love It DataSnap transforms classic, high-engagement builds—like catapults, race cars, and egg-drop challenges—into modern, data-rich investigations. It seamlessly bridges hands-on engineering with foundational data fluency skills, helping students build the analytical thinking essential for today’s AI-era classrooms. Simple Bluetooth pairing allows student groups to easily share the sensor throughout the class period. Built for the Classroom Designed intentionally and tested rigorously, DataSnap Sensors are made to withstand classroom use. They’re built to be dropped, launched, and crashed—it’s not a flaw, it’s part of the curriculum! Each lesson includes an LMS-ready student slideshow with clear, step-by-step guidance that shows students how to use the sensor effectively and collect high-quality data. Learning Extensions While the DataSnap App is optimized for the included curriculum, creative educators can easily use the sensor on its own or adapt the sensor for any motion-based learning activity. Wherever motion meets inquiry, DataSnap enhances learning with accessible, meaningful data. THE DATASNAP APP The free DataSnap App connects the sensor to students’ devices and presents lesson-specific data that keeps learners focused, engaged, and ready to iterate, improve, and engineer. DataSnap Sensors transmit data via Bluetooth. Device Compatibility Chromebooks & Laptops Tablets Desktop computers Accessing the App Web-based app via Chrome or Edge No user accounts are required. The app does not store sensor data, but users can download motion data from their most recent experiment for further analysis.
