The cockroaches are placed in ice water as a kind of crude anesthetic. Then the kids are instructed to sand down a patch of shell on the cockroach's head and superglue electrodes to the newly smooth area. Next, a ground wire is stuck into the cockroach's thorax — the area right between its neck and stomach. Finally, the kids must carefully trim the antennae and stick small silver electrodes in them that will receive the signal from the circuit that attaches to the cockroach's back and resembles a tiny backpack.

Dumb and not cybernetics. You're not actually controlling it. You're basically just tasering it and it is acting spastically in response to a shock.

This is not cybernetics. You're just tasering something with almost no brain and it is acting in a spastic pattern in response to being shocked. If I put a shock collar on you I bet I could make you run in random directions too.

nice dubs
This is for kids? Can anyone tell me what educational value could kids possibly get from this? Seriously, plz answer.
I feel like cybernetics is WAY beyond the scope of any kids class. I think the real lesson meant to be taught is dissecting living animals and turning them into zombies is fun, cool, and not morally objectionable in any way!
