For our Robotics topic we partnered up with p1/2. We showed them how to program robots like Spheros and Dash and Dot and how to program micro:bits to count how many things were out in the playground. We had to code it all ourselves and de-bug it if it was wrong. Then we all decided to make our own robots. We had planning sheets and had to decide what we were going to make our robot do- they had to solve a world problem linked to the Sustainable Development Goals. Then we had to code the Micro:bits and then make the robots. We junk modelled them and then papermached. We will present our robots at the end of the week. For example we have a robot that can detect when the soil gets too dry and plants need watering.
This afternoon we used our plans from last week to code and build our own robots designed to solve various sustainable development goals. @DigitalXtraFund @microbit_edu @STEMedscot pic.twitter.com/3jo6we9YaH
