| 1. Check Lego Parts | Students will check that the container they are assigned has all the necessary Lego Parts. After this stage, the students are responsible for all missing parts. | ||||||
| 2. Assembling & "Hand Coding" Your EV3 | Students will begin to build their EV3 robots and in the process learn how to "Hand Code" it and all of the sensors. | ||||||
| 3. Challenge #1: The Maze | Students must Hand Code their Robots (Do not use your computer for this project) to successfully cross the board through a maze using all the sensors being provided them. | ||||||
| 4. "Computer Coding" Your EV3 | Students will use their Computers to Program their robots using the “Lego Mindstorms Education EV3” App. on their computers. |
||||||
| 5. Challenge #2: Parking Lot | Students must use their computers to write a code that will navigate their robots between 4 parking slots using sensors.The sensors the students will rely upon are: 1. Color 2.Gyroscope. |
||||||
| 6. Challenge #3: "Robot Soccer:" | Students will use their computers to program their robots to push more balls off the soccer court than their opponents. | ||||||
| 7. Challenge #4: "Battle Royale: | Students will use their smart phones and/or ipads in order to direct their robots to battle and immobilize their opponents robots on the class court. The last remaining robot that is mobile and in-bounds wins. | ||||||
