Thermal Imaging with the Seek CompactPro and MATLAB
This exercise will show students how to capture thermal images, export them, import them to MATLAB, and calculate temperature readings. The Seek CompactPro does not allow the export of raw data, but only the images. Nevertheless, with a linear color palette it is possible to calculate and display quite good temperature values.

Calculating the Accuracy and Precision of an Ultrasonic Sensor
This exercise is intended to help students to understand the difference between accuracy and precision by means of performing multiple measures of distances by using the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Ultrasonic Sensor. In addition, the students should understand in which data format the measurements are recorded, stored and transfered between the sensor and the computer.
