Kathy and Caroline's first grade had the opportunity to visit the US robotics class and loved what they saw! The US students explained how they built their robots and programed them. We even got to see the programs on the computer screens and ask questions. Then we saw the robots in action. The robots were being programmed to complete four missions, one in each corner of the arena. We especially loved the rescue of the miniature person, even when the attempt failed and the little character was run over!
There is lots of tweaking that happens and each mission undergoes many adjustments as you can see in the short video clips. We were delighted to have this chance to meet with the class in anticipation of our upcoming collaboration with them and the other first grade as they launch into an animal robotic unit. The first graders will help brainstorm ideas about animals, behaviors and habitats. Then, we are hoping that in small groups, actual habitats will be designed for each robotic animal. It sounds incredible! We'll keep you posted!
