Teaching LEGO Robotics Lesson 5: Bumper Cars
This lesson has turned out to be one the kids really enjoy. The bumper car introduces the kids to many new concepts, a detachable cover to hide the hub, using the touch sensor to change directions, introduces them to new coding blocks like the "repeat until" and "greater than less than", and provides an opportunity for extension where the students can make improvements to their cars and programs and bring them back to the field for more friendly competition. Like real bumper cars, there are no winners or losers, just a lot of fun and laughter.

Follow these instructions to build a bumper car using the basic Spike Prime Kit. This build uses the touch sensor to recognize when the robot has ran in to something then change direction. This build is great for a class project.
Teaching LEGO Robotics Lesson 4: Geared up Robot
Переглядів 644Рік тому
The 4th build I give my students is geared up robot. It uses 3 connected gears from largest to smallest to speed the robot up. The robot introduces students to gears, the distance sensor, how the order of the movement motors affects the performance of the robot. Also the distance sensor is used to start their robots movement with the wave of a hand which is fun and impresses the students.

Teaching LEGO Robotics: Controlling the distance your robot travels.
Переглядів 2,9 тис.Рік тому
This video will show you how to program your LEGO Spike Prime Robot to travel a specific number of degrees (or rotations) allowing you to control the distance your robot travels. Many have asked me how to make the robot travel a certain distance rather than use the timer, so here is the solution.
Teaching LEGO Robotics Lesson 3: Square Loop and Figure 8
Переглядів 913Рік тому
This is the first wheeled robot my students build and they use it to learn how move around an area. In this lesson they observe the effect of speed on the consistency of their programs and learn how to use the wait block. This is a great lesson to build on the foundation they have created with Spike Prime and increase confidence in their developing skills.

The second lesson I have been using in my LEGO Robotics classes is The Hopper right out of the Spike Prime kit. I do add a minor change with the way he gets programmed, but aside from that, the lesson is exactly the same as the one from LEGO Education
Teaching LEGO Robotics Lesson 1: Walking Insect
Переглядів 848Рік тому
The walking insect is the first lesson I use in my robotics class. The build is easy and the lesson introduces the students to stacks, and using the color sensor. It is a great foundation to build on.
Teaching LEGO Robotics with Spike Prime
Переглядів 838Рік тому
It has taken several years for me to finally get to a point in teaching LEGO Robotics that I feel I have a decent program going that kids enjoy. There are so few resources out there for teachers who are trying to teach with LEGO and I want to share the projects I have started using in class for teachers that are looking for things they can use right away with their students.
