We began robotics with 3rd grade last week. After explaining the we were only programming, not engineering, we began with Robolab 2.9. Robolab is an icon based programming language. Students usually program robots to turn by directing the motors to go in different directions for a small amount of time. Today we began learning about power levels. To practice programming with different power levels, students wrote 9 programs, only changing the power variable. The result were pretty flowers. By working together on one sheet of paper, we made collaborative artwork as well!
