5th ELP Explores Sensory Robots

Over the last couple of weeks the 5th ELP group has departed from basic coding/computer programming skills to focus on sensory robotics with an activity called "Cubelets."  The students collaborated to create small scale sensory robots:  the cubes stack together in certain orders to perform certain tasks as programmed by the color of the cubes.  Below are pictures and/or video of the early trial and error phase of the robot building.  In the next few sessions students will be given challenges to complete with the robots and cubes allotted.  Stay tuned for more pictures, videos and evidence of STEM being applied in all areas of learning.....

Standards
CC.K-12.MP.5
Use appropriate tools strategically.
CC.K-12.MP.6
Attend to precision.
CC.K-12.MP.1
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.


trial and error....take 1.....

The very beginning of stacking cubelets...

collaborating in a larger group to create a hypothesis for what they think will happen if certain cubes are lined up in certain order....stay tuned....

trial and error....take 2 or 3 or 4......the pair is still working on the final result (The engineering process is cyclical and always evolving).
