We had a very enjoyable time familiarising ourselves with LEGO robotics. Since it was the first time using it for many, we got a quick tutorial and then started building. First we built a basic propeller and then moved on to a simple car. After that, several groups started to make their own designs. We learned a lot such as:
- Using tablets/laptops to connect to the LEGO hubs (via bluetooth)
- Following the instructional steps to create our LEGO toys
- Identifying and categorising LEGO parts
- New vocabulary (ie naming parts) e.g. 2x4 bricks, triangular bricks, gears, axles, beams, hubs, sensors, pulleys, motors etc
- Using the programming software to sequence the order of operations
- How to problem solve when something didn't work (an important life skill!)
