Preparation

The teacher has created one challenge field on the floor in the classroom:
- He has marked a starting line on the floor.
- There is a second line 50cm (20 inches) away from the first one.

Programming

The idea is to experiment with the software.

Make multiple attempts with your robot in order to adjust the distance that it travels.
The task is successful when the robot stops on the second line.

On the line could mean the tires may not be touching the line, but when looked at from above, they seem to cross it.

Lesson 1 - Moving forward

Your LEGO sets and the workplaces must be in exemplary shape. Beyond that, you must do one more thing.

[In Development] The fun level - Game-oriented introduction to LEGO robotics

A level, designed for introduction in LEGO-robotics, focused mostly on games. We use goal-oriented challenges to make the students want to accomplish a certain task, learning a lot in the process. Some of the games we have included here are football, bowling, paper-plane competition and many more. It is suitable for studens 8 to 12 years old, but even older students will have a lot of fun with the activities.

This is a brand new course that we are experimenting with in a groups in June 2019. Keep in mind that it is possible to use it for summer camps and groups, but there are a few lessons that will be improved on the fly.
