3rd-5th Grade ELP Create Robots
The 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade ELP students have been working online at www.code.org and/or www.scratch.mit.edu to build their knowledge and application of computer coding/programming and computer "language". Over the last 2 weeks, the small groups have taken their online knowledge and put the skills to practical application by working on early robotics. Students have rotated through 3 stations: 3D Geometry and Magnetic Building, Cubelets Robotics (stackable magnetic cubes that create robots with sense, think and action settings) and Pro-bots (turtle computer and LOGO) programmable robotic cars. Below are a few pictures and videos from the students' work time. Growth Mindset also played a key role in these lessons. Students had to be flexible with their thinking, plan on trial and error (with an emphasis on there being error) and working on through situations where the tasks seemed more difficult than they would have liked.
