Our First Group-2015
We're just getting started with our robotics program. This year we ran a 7 week after school club for 4th graders who were interested in learning about making LEGO Robots. Here's a look at our first attempts at buildingwith our fourth graders and the Lego NXT kits in our after school program. Teams of 2 to 3 students worked on building drive bases to accomplish tasks such as:
- move forward
- move backward
- turn to the right and turn to the left
- make a square
- drive forward and reverse into a parking space
- make an oval
- add a robotic arm that can swing and hit a ball
- add a touch sensor to bump into a wall and then reverse
- add a robotic arm that can pick up a ring
Here's a short video showing what we learned to do.
