Robotics and Coding
LEARNING OUTCOME
Robots are used for many jobs that can be repetitive or dangerous. They can only do what the have been programmed to do with a code which is their language.
SESSION activities
- Meet an Ozobot and calibrate your robot.
- Experiment with line following, light direction, sound and colour coding to give it directions.
- Demonstrate how the directions of the code are very important.
- Demonstrate how to develop more Ozobot codes.
SCIENCE EDUCATOR demonstrations
- Demonstrate what a robot is and how it works.
- Calibrate your robot.
- Develop a line code and run the robot.
- Develop a speed code and try with the Bot.
- Develop a code that changes direction.
- Develop a colour code and have fun with the Bot.
- Develop a code for a 100cm race challenge.
