About This Activity
Fun Frenzy Robotics 1-2-3 (FFR) Grade(s) K-5th Students will be introduced in the first 5 weeks basic engineering concepts and create simple builds in weeks 6-14. LEGO Technic pieces that come together to create movable, steerable, controlled robots. Students will engage in a group four with assigned roles that rotate weekly. • Instructor – He or she reads the out the parts needed for the builds. • Engineer - He or she will look for the parts that the instructor reads out loud. • Builder – He or she is responsible for building the robot • Cross Checker - He or she helps the builder and gets to drive the robot first. Students are encouraged to work as a team and explore the use of motors, gears, pulleys, and IR technology while building Lego Robot inventions. Each build will be followed by a thrilling challenge that illustrates the need for “simplicity” and the pitfalls of “complexity”. Students will be provided with a creative tool kit to design their bots!
