Numbers with Robots


Robotics is not only about playing with a robot,it's about understanding how machines how machines work and about communicating effectively so the robot or machine can do exactly what we tell it to do.


Effective communication is not only part of coding & robotics, but also very important in any field when it comes to deliver our message to others, therefore it's a skill that will help the kid become better at communicating further in life.


Activity:

For this activity we'll be using our own robots at home:


1. What do you need?

- 5 Papers to write on
- Something to write: pen, colors, markers,etc
- An empty space where the robot can move freely 
- Your Robot

2. Write on each paper one number, you can decorate the number however you want.

3. Put the numbers on the floor, but not too far from each other: max 5 cm far away

4. Program the robot to go through all the numbers in sequence.

5. Watch the example on the following video

Create Your Own Command Cards

Image
In our class we work with command cards to practice our coding skills offline, and now is time to create our own! Before we start we should practice the main vocabulary we use: - Forward - Right - Left - Stop Activity 1. Let's practice the LEFT and RIGHT by dancing: Watch the video of the Hokey Pokey! Dance and sing along: 2. Now that you're all pumped up let's start creating! What do we need? - Something to draw on, blank sheets or cardboard paper - Pencil, markers, colors, crayons Step 1 To make better use of the paper we can cut them in 4 smaller rectangles shapes. A total of 10 rectangles. Step 2 Draw on each rectangles a big ARROW, you can decorate the arrows however you want. In total 8 arrows: - Forward 3x - Right 3x - Left 3x Step 3 Draw one big HAND on one of the rectangles. This hand will be used as the command:  STOP 3. Let's play find the treasure! 2 Players For this game we'll use ...

Story telling with Scrath Jr

Image
In storytelling we find that the sequence of a story is similar to the sequences we can find in different coding apps. Why? Because coding is basically the process of breaking a big problem in smaller parts to get to the objectives of our code. 1. Watch the following story: https://youtu.be/17JQ5x_PAjo 2. Can you help us organize the story? A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. J. K. Order of the story is: 1= A 2=? 3=? 4=? 5=? 6=? 7=? 8=? 9=? 10=? 2. . Let's practice our sequence and storytelling skills by playing the following game: - Put the number in the correct order of each story, which part is 1? and 2? 3? 4?  https://www.turtlediary.com/game/picture-sequencing-kindergarten.html 3. Do you remember Scratchy's Lost Ball story? Watch the video once again: https://vimeo.com/403160619 4 . Can you edit the beginning of the story with the help of Scratch Jr? Things to keep i...
