About This Activity
Students will follow design instructions and build a bot to compete with their teammates. Students will participate in challenging competition with their teammates to test their robot’s structural integrity and maneuverability. 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. Your student will learn about gears, pulleys, and varying degrees of traction, and will build a robot. Students will be provided with a creative tool kit to design their bots! Returning Students are welcome! We have new lessons and builds each semester :)
